About this place
Konjikido is the gold-leafed hall inside Chusonji temple in Hiraizumi, Iwate — a National Treasure and part of the Hiraizumi UNESCO listing. It dates to 1124 and is now enclosed in a protective concrete hall.
Parking is at the foot of the temple approach, and Konjikido is uphill from there along the Tsukimizaka slope, roughly fifteen minutes on foot. The mapcode points at the hall itself, so treat the last stretch as a walk and park where the signs send you rather than pushing the car up the approach.
Need a mapcode for somewhere else?
This site covers 30 places. Your hotel, the rental return lot, the restaurant you booked — those need mapcodes too, and they are not on this list. The app converts any Japanese address or place name, in English, Korean, Chinese or Japanese. Free.
How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix — that is fine, it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Chusonji Konjikido?
- The mapcode is 142 282 731*73, pointing at a spot in 岩手県. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 39.001300, 141.099800. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
