The Konjikidō, or Golden Hall, is a small Buddhist hall at Chūson-ji in Hiraizumi, northern Japan, completed in 1124 under Fujiwara no Kiyohira. Its interior and exterior are covered with gold leaf and black lacquer inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and it houses an Amida Buddha with attendants. The mummified remains of Kiyohira, Motohira and Hidehira lie beneath its altars.
