    Zobo's Maori Tomb

    Original Text

    A large temple at the foot of Saeki Castle, which was selected as one of the 100 Continued Japanese Castles. The gate is also magnificent. It is the graveyard of the Mori family, the lord of Saeki domain in the Edo period. You cannot see the mountain gate and you cannot enter it. There is a monument to the loyal soul of the Russo Japanese War with a Kannon statue in front of the temple.

    Graveyard of the Mori family

    Original Text

    It is the family temple of the Mori family, and the tombstone Gorinto is lined up at the tomb of the Mori family. Although it is not open to the public, you can see that it is a temple in a very large precinct, and it is a temple with a venerable history of magnificent buildings such as the mountain gate.

    The family temple created by the first lord

    Original Text

    It is a historic temple built at the same time as the formation of Saeki's castle town in the early Edo period, and you can feel the personality from the exterior. Currently, it is a training dojo, so you can't go inside, but it creates a beautiful view of the castle town.

    I can't get in the back.

    Original Text

    A temple in the back of the path of history and literature. It is the family temple of the Mori family, the owner of Saeki Castle, and he is still training at Zen temple, so the inside is closed to the public. The gate is vacant, so I went inside and went to the front of the main hall. The tiled roof is magnificent and a masterpiece. It seems that there is a historical tower of Mr. Mori in the back, but it is off limits, so you cannot proceed to the back.

    A temple at the end of the history and literature road

    Original Text

    It is a temple at the end of the history and literature road. When I walked around the cobblestone walking paths lined with samurai residences and came to this large temple, a magnificent information board stood, but for some reason there was a bill prohibiting visiting. This can't be helped. After looking at the entrance from the outside of the gate, I passed by as it was.
