A person who completed 'Edo meisho Zue'

Original Text

There is an explanation board and a grave in the precincts of Hozenji Temple in Higashi Ueno. I learned the name of Nagaaki Saito for the first time, but it seems that he has completed the "Edo Meisho Zue", which is said to be the predecessor of tourist information, which explains Edo's customs, events, famous places, etc. for three generations. The grave is located in the back graveyard.

It is located in Hozenji Temple.

Original Text

The tomb of the third generation of Nagaaki Saito is located at Hozenji Temple in Asakusa. Hozenji is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Higashi Honganji school. This place has been relocated in the early 19th century. There are many temples around. It doesn't feel old from the outside, but it's a historic temple.

Completed 'Edo scenic spot Zue' over three generations

Original Text

It is located in a temple of the Jodo Shinshu sect called "Hozenji", about a １０ walk north of "Inaricho Station" on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line. Nagaaki Saito, a scholar of Japanese classical literature at the end of the Edo period, and his sons and grandchildren examined the geography of Edo for three generations and completed the Edo Meisho Zue. There is an explanation board on the right side of the temple gate, but the graveyard seems to be in the back of the main hall and I couldn't visit it.
