[Kitayujin] April 3, 2012 08:30

Cherry blossoms are late this year.

Thanks to that, you can see a slow plum.

You can see a small temple in a corner of Nihonbashihamacho Park.

It is a branch temple of Honmyoji Temple in Kumamoto that was founded in 1861 (1861) by Masago Hosokawa from Nichiren sect Honmyoji Temple in Kumamoto in 1861.

Of course, it is "Kato Kiyomasa Duke".

Kato Kiyomasa was a master and loved by everyone, so Tadatoshi Hosokawa, who was sealed after Tadahiro II was remodeled, seemed to be very careful. It is said that he gained the trust of the people.

The current Dou was rebuilt in 1959 (1959).

 It is from the street next to Hamacho Park.
