Pine in Kakigara-cho

Give more light to the Ina family who supported the Shogunate

The 14th Chuo-ku Tourism Certification has been over. I'm a positive thinking correspondent who realized that I still have a lot to grow.
Well, for the next year, I've been walking up close.
In Chuo-ku, there is a sightseeing point called "Gundai Yashiki Ruins". Including Tadatsugu Ina, who was appointed as the deputy head by Ieyasu Tokugawa, the Ina clan was later called Kanto-gundai and inherited for twelve generations.
His achievements are diverse, so I can't write it here, but the representative one is Tonegawa Togen. We replaced the Tone River, which originally poured into Tokyo Bay, and flowed toward Choshi, and made a great contribution to the development of Edo by transporting goods, flood control, and Nitta development by boat. The current development of Chuo-ku is based on the Tonegawa Togen Project in the early Edo period.
The name of the Ina family remains in the place name. In addition to Ina Town, Saitama Prefecture, there are Ina Town, Ibaraki Prefecture, the predecessor of Tsukuba Mirai City. Historic sites related to the Ina family are located in various parts of the Kanto region.
This time, I worshiped the "Inake Shoden Monument" in the precincts of Genchoji Temple in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture. Gencho-ji Temple is the Bodaiji Temple of the Ina family, with tombs of generations since the fourth generation Tadakatsu, and the Ina Family Shotoku Monument, built by the fifth generation Tadatsugu, the second generation Tadamasa, and the third generation Tadaharu's achievements are engraved. I am.
Genchoji Temple is located just a short walk from Araijuku Station on the Saitama Railway. If you are interested, please visit us.
