    The family temple of katsuie Shibata and Oichi

    Original Text

    There is a graveyard for Katsuie Shibata and the city. The sect is called Tendai Mamori sect, and it is clearly written on the petition and gate pillar of Sadakage Asakura during the Entoku era. When I visited, local children were practicing something in the hall. It's a temple that has a high close relationship with the community. A building called Katsuie Shibata Museum is also built on the premises.

    Chaitian Shengjia の Bodhi Temple

    Original Text

    It was founded in 1489 It is a temple of the Tendai sect Shinmori school, which is said to have started in 1489 when Sadakage Asakura ordered his vassals to invite the Shinmori Shonin of Saikyoji Temple to open the mountain in Okaho Village, Fukui City. Katsuie Shibata built Kitanosho Castle and was moved from Okaho Village to the current location, which is the castle in 1576. It is said that he entrusted the future of three sisters to the priest before he died in Kitanoshojo. There are tombs of Katsuie and the city in the precincts. There is also the Shibata Katsuie Museum, but advance reservations are required.

    It was in a corner between the Asuwa River and Mt. Asuwa.

    It was in a corner between the Asuwa River and Mt. Asuwa. There was a famous Shibata Katsuie graveyard for history lovers. It was in a residential area and it was a very difficult place to find. It's a good idea to visit while taking a walk on Mt. Asuwa.

    Fukui city sightseeing

    Original Text

    It is on the way from Fukui Station to Mt. Asuwa. I think it's in a little difficult to understand. There is a grave of Katsuie Shibata and the city. I think it's good because there is also a commentary 〇

    I know.

    I searched for a temple with the grave of Katsuie Shibata, but it was behind the kindergarten and it was insanely confusing. I felt like a new temple rather than an old temple.
