The temple came to prominence when the northern branch of the Fujiwara clan moved theirbase to Hiraizumi. At its peak, the temple consisted of a large network of dozens of buildings.
With the fall of the Fujiwara at the end of the 12th century, Chusonji suffered likewise so that now only two buildings from that era remain intact.
Luckily, among these is the most spectacular, the Konjikido. Similar to Kyoto's well known Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion). Konjikido is a hall completely covered in gold.
