In Higashi ward, Hiroshima, there are still many cultural heritage sites, including the Fudoin Kondo, which is the city's only national treasure.
Among them, “Futaba no Sato History Walkway” is a course that connects venerable shrines, temples, historical sites, etc. scattered between Ushita Shinmachi and Yaga Station.
This course can be enjoyed not only by students, but also by all the other people, as we will visit Onaga Tenmangu Shrine, which enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning, and Saizo-ji Temple where miso is offered to the head of “Miso Jizo” to pray for success.
