I parked at the temporary parking lot at the entrance of Kakunodate on Route 341 from Morioka city and went sightseeing on foot, but I should have driven farther than what I saw on the map.

It is recommended for those who are interested in Mr. Amina, but it is likely to be overlooked because it is a little off from the samurai residence area (although it is not a big distance). However, it may not be that disappointing just because I overlooked it. The atmosphere of the temple is calm and not bad.
