\"\"<\/p>\n

Chion-ji temple located in Amanohashidate, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan, is also called \u201cMonju-do\u201d, and it enshrines a Bodhisattva that controls wisdom called ‘Monjubosatsu’.
\n\u201cMonju\u201d means \u201cMonjubosatsu\u201d, a Bodhisattva that controls wisdom, and it is known as one of the three Monjubosatsu of Japan along with Abe Monju-in Temple located in Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture, and Kameoka Monju located in Takahata-cho, Yamagata Prefecture.

Rice cake called \u201cChie no Mochi\u201d<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Will you taste and compare the rice cakes called \u201cChie no Mochi\u201d that are sold in four stores in front of Chion-ji Temple, after you visit Chion-ji Temple?
\nIf you eat this rice cake, you can be given wisdom from Monjubosatsu, so it is called lucky rice cake.
\nWe briefly introduce the origin of rice cake called \u201cChie no Mochi\u201d.
\nAn old woman believed in \u201cMonjubosatsu\u201d.
\nOne day Monjubosatsu appeared in front of her, and said that you have to make rice cakes and give them to people who visit Chion-ji temple, so she did as she was told.
\nThere was a bright child who liked the old woman.
\nWhen a monk from Daitoku-ji temple in Kyoto visited Chion-ji temple, he met the child and was surprised that the child was very intelligent.
\nThe old woman told him that the child was wise because he always eat the rice cake which she made as Monjubosatsu said.
\nTherefore, it is said that the rice cake was \u201cChie no Mochi\u201d.(Chie means wisdom, and Mochi means a rice cake.)
\nYou can taste the rice cakes and enjoy the differences of the sweetness of red beans paste and the softness of rice cake. <\/p>\n
