It might not be for everyone to visit a graveyard, but a walk among centuries-old tombstones embraced by the tranquility of their owners eternal dream, can be of an intense quality. Situated close e...

The date family of the Uwajima domain only knows the names of Hidemune and Munejo, but both of them have graves at the nearby Tokakuji Temple, so we finished worshiping and walking around the precincts. It's not that big as a temple. You can see the Uwajima Castle Castle Tower from here.

In the case of a car, Tokakuji does not have a parking lot, so you may want to come here. The highlight of the feudal lord is the tomb of Munenori Date (100 years old and over).

Rather than being the family temple of the feudal lord, I went to visit the mausoleum of senior vassal, Kimi Yoriko Yamaie.

This is the family temple of the Date family, the successive feudal lords, but since it is not a pilgrimage temple, the schedule went smoothly on the pilgrimage, and I worshiped because I had time for the whole day. The purpose of this visit was to worship the mausoleum of the senior vassal of the Date family, "Yamaie Kimi Yoriko," who has been designated as cultural properties and historic sites of the city and prefectures. At first, he was regarded as a sinner on suspicion of not being a sinner, but the people who admired him secretly buried him in the western valley of this temple, but later he was exempted and built at the "Japanese Mausoleum". Come to visit more than the tomb of the Lord ...
