There is a small temple in the corner of Hamacho Park.
Kiyomasa Koji Temple is a temple in Nichiren sect and is a branch temple of Honmyoji Temple in Kumamoto.
As the name suggests, this temple is the retainer of Hideyoshi Toyotomi's son, and is a temple dedicated to "Shizugatake's Seven Spears" and the Prince of Kato Kiyomasa, who is famous for dispatching troops to Korea. Kiyomasa was given Higo Province and became Kumamoto feudal lord.
Then, why is
there a temple of Kiyomasa in Hamacho Park?
feudal lord Narimori Hosokawa recommended the spirit of Kato Kiyomasa, who was enshrined at Honmyoji Temple in Kumamoto, in 1861.
After the Meiji Restoration, it was temporarily called Kato Shrine (),
but it was returned to the Buddhist ceremony in 1885, renamed Kiyomasa Kodo, entrusted management to Kumamoto Honmyoji Temple, and continued as Honmyoji Temple's branch temple. It seems to be.
From now on, the season 
will improve, and I think that Hamacho Park with lots of greenery 
and 
along the Sumida River behind the park are ideal for walking.
Please visit Kiyomasa Ko-ji Temple once.
