Inverse house with a principal ridgepole roof to see from Myozen-ji Temple
From Myozen-ji Temple in communities of Ogicho district, we can see "inverse architecture with principal ridgepole" to reflect in the surface of the water of rice field. Place where some inverse architecture with principal ridgepole is seen in is in Ogicho district, but it is Myozen-ji Temple that it seems to most clearly in that, and is crowded.
