Less than 10 minutes walk from Dogo Onsen Station. It is located on the left hill of the road (Prefectural Road 187) leading to Ishiteji Temple. A temple of the Soto sect built in 1539. The principal image is Shaka Nyorai. It is said that it was named "Gianji" because it was built by Hikoshiro Kono, the son of Kagemichi Kono, but it is unknown what kind of people Kagemichi Kono and Hikoshiro Yoshiyasu were. On the right hand of the main hall, there is a well "the fountain of oath" that is said to have drank water before his vassals committed suicide when michinao Kono (the last head of the Kono clan) surrendered in the attack of Shikoku by Hideyoshi Toyotomi. ...

You can see it from the Dogo Park Observatory and it is on the way to Ishiteji Temple. It will be the place where his vassals committed suicide without serving Ni-kun when the Kono family was discontinued.

It's a historic temple.

It is a temple that is visiting Dogo Village. The main hall is orthodox. It is a temple with a history that vassals of the Kono family gathered at this temple and made vows not to serve Hideyoshi Toyotomi. There was also a fountain of oaths, and I felt that I had touched history.

A temple with a deep connection with the Kono clan, who was the Shugo of iyo Province

Original Text

On the way from Dogo Onsen to Ishiteji Temple. There is a steep stone wall like a castle along the street, and the temple is above it. This is a temple that has a close relationship with the Kono clan, who was the guardian of Iyo Province until the early Sengoku period. When Mr. Kono broke out, all his vassals made a vow not to serve two and committed suicide here. It means that he exchanged a water cup before that.

If you like history, please!

I stopped by when I had a business at the nearby "Nigitatsu Kaikan". It is a place where you can think of the rise and fall of the Navy. It is not included in the major sightseeing course, but it is recommended for history lovers.
