I visited the grave of the ancestors of Ieyasu Tokugawa
Hello.
The blog name has been changed from "wienerhorn" to "Hamacho no Matsu". I like Chuo-ku, Doboku, alcohol, delicious food and music. Thank you very much for your continued support.
By the way, when I went on a business trip to Nagoya the other day, I went to Okazaki City a little further. Okazaki is a place where you can always reach when you go back to the history of Chuo-ku historically.
First of all, Okazaki Castle. This is the place where the ninth generation of the Matsudaira family, Ieyasu Tokugawa, was born. It is located in Okazaki Park, within walking distance of Meitetsu Higashi-Okazaki Station. And a while north from there, you will find Daijuji, the main destination this time. It is the Bodaiji Temple of the Matsudaira family and the Tokugawa shogun family, and was founded in 1475 by Matsudaira's fourth generation Chichu (the ancestor five generations before Ieyasu). In 1617, Hidetada Tokugawa, the second shogun, restored and rebuilt the grave of the 8th ancestor Matsudaira, on the anniversary of Ieyasu. The photo shows the tombs lined up from right to left in the order of 1st to 8th.
When Ieyasu was 19 years old, Yoshimoto Imagawa fell down in the battle of Okehazama (1560) and felt danger, and tried to self-harm in front of the grave of the ancestor of Daijuji, but the honorary superior of the 13th head priest said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Without this event, the prosperity of the Tokugawa family, the stable Edo period, and of course, there would have been no modern Chuo-ku.
There are many highlights in Daijuji Temple. spirit tablet of the Matsudaira family and Tokugawa shoguns, the "Shi" tree planted by Ieyasu, the mountain gate built by Iemitsu, and the tahoto pagoda, a national important cultural property. I think it's an irresistible spot for those who like history.
As a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, I recommend Daijuji as one of the "sacred places" to everyone.
