Manpōzan Kiitchi-ji This temple belongs to the Kenchō-ji school of Rinzai Zen. It was founded in Shōan 3 (1301) by the eminent monk Issan Ichinei from the Yuan realm (China). At first it was called Kiitsu-an, later renamed Kiitchi-ji. The main hall was rebuilt in Kōka 5 (1848) under the master carpenter Ishida Hanbei, renowned for his work on shrines and temples. The temple treasures include a self-portrait of Master Issan, an original hand-written silk scroll, and two volumes of his recorded sayings. A graceful garden behind the main hall is admired as one of Izu’s representative landscaped gardens. The temple is also Temple No. 2 on the Izu Yokomichi Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage and Temple No. 80 on the Izu Eighty-Eight Sacred Sites.

Namakokabe Izu Matsuzaki still preserves many houses and storehouses with namakokabe walls built in a bygone era. Namakokabe is one of Japan’s traditional wall-plastering styles used on kura (storehouses) and similar buildings. Flat tiles are arranged across the wall surface, and the joints are finished with kamaboko-shaped layers of plaster. The raised shape of the joints resembles a namako (sea cucumber), which is how the style got its name. Namakokabe was constructed 1. for insulation, moisture control, and pest prevention 2. to guard against fire and theft and required substantial expense and labor. The namakokabe at the Kondo Family was built in the late Edo period, and the street lined with these walls is called Namakokabe Street.
