Kiyomasa Koji Temple in Nihonbashihamacho

[North Yujin] April 3, 2012 08:30

The flowering of cherry blossoms is delayed this year.

Thanks to that, I can see plums late.

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

This is a separate temple of Kumamoto Honmyoji, which was founded in 1861 by Hosokawa Saigo from Nichiren sect Honmyoji in Kumamoto in 1861 in this area, which was the lower residence of the Hosokawa Domain during the Edo period.

Of course, what is enshrined is the Duke of Kato Kiyomasa.

Kato Kiyomasa was a master and respected by everyone, so Tadatoshi Hosokawa, who was sealed after Tadahiro Nidai was remodeled, seems to have taken great care. It is said that this has gained the trust of the people.

The current Dou was rebuilt in 1959 (1959).

 It's from the street next to Hamacho Park.

 I'll go to the front.

 This is the whole view.

 The white plum on the right is also in full bloom.

There is Kato Shrine in Kumamoto Castle, but Shiba Shirokane's "Kakurinji" is famous in Tokyo.

This is said to have been founded in the Nakayashiki of the Kumamoto Domain by Ninobujo in 1631 (1631).

Mr. Kiyomasa is widely seen all over Japan.
