History
Named for the eagle's head, Washizuteri Temple illuminates the path ahead for all who visit with the keen perception of that mighty predator. In the land of Matsushima, this temple has long watched over the community since ancient times. The Buddha's compassion to clear obstacles from life's path and grant the strength to move forward works most powerfully here.
