Denbenkei Tomb

Musashibo Benkei sleeps here.

Original Text

About 20 minutes walk from Hiraizumi station. A stone monument engraved with "Musashibo Benkei no Tomb" is erected in front of the entrance to Chusonji Omotesando. Benkei was a monks soldier at the end of the Heian period and served Minamoto no Yoshitsune. In 1189, he stood in front of the enemy to protect Yoshitsune in the battle of Kinugawa, and died while receiving countless arrows (Benkei's death). The remains were carried to this place and buried. In this battle, his Lord Yoshitsune committed suicide and was buried in another place. Benkei will be sorry.

It's in a prominent position, but you can miss it.

It is located at the entrance of Tsukimizaka, Omotesando, Chusonji Temple. From a distance, it can only be seen as a rotary park at the entrance of Chusonji Temple, but it is located in it. It is a place where many people come and go, but the destination I aim for is Chusonji Golden Hall. Therefore, few people noticed Benkei's tomb at the entrance. (Because it will be removed from the conductor to the parking lot) I myself stood near the entrance, so I happened to find a signboard and stopped by.

The grave of Musashi Bo Benkei was at the entrance of Chuson Ji Temple in Hiraizumi, Oshu. It's not written as Musashibo Benkei's tomb, so it's almost overlooked if it's just a stone monument of the rotary. I was surprised that there were surprisingly few tourists in Benkei's tomb.

"Matsu no Jiya Musashibo"

It is a monument of a tombstone, a pine tree, and a monument of a bird that sang the scene in front of the approach to Chusonji Temple. There were no other people, probably because it was surprisingly difficult to find, and in a slightly lonely appearance, I was able to think about Benkei's story while taking a break.

It is the relationship between 'Musashibo Benkei' and 'Minamoto no Yoshitsune' in Hiraizumi and the 'Tomb of Benkei' as a footprint of history.

The relationship between "Musashibo Benkei" and "Minamoto no Yoshitsune" in Hiraizumi and the "Tomb of Benkei" as a footprint of history. "Battle of Kinugawa" and "Benkei's standing". The information sign says, "Benkei will protect his lord until the end and finally stand in the river." I looked at the "Tomb of Benkei" while thinking of the state of the spear pierced into Benkei's body.
