Tochimoto temple ruins (栃本廃寺跡, Tochimoto Haiji ato) is an
National Historic Site in 1935, and the designation expanded to cover the remaining temple ruins in 2004.[1]
History
The Tochimoto ruins are located on the right bank of the Oishi River, a tributary of the Fukuro River. The temple is unique in the San'in region as its layout was patterned after
roof tiles, probably because it is located in a mountainous area with heavy snowfall. [2]
The site is located about 38 minutes by car from
JR West San'in Main Line. [2]
