    Original Text

    In Shiga Prefecture, Hikone City also has a temple with the same character and sound, but this is Raigoji Temple in Otsu City. This place has a history of 1230 over a year. It is said that Jizo Kyoin, founded by Saicho, the founder of the Tendai sect, and the missionary Daishi, is the predecessor. It changed to the current temple name in later years. There are many temples such as the main shrine of important cultural properties. It is said that the front gate here was relocated from Sakamoto Castle built by Akechi Mitsuhide, a rebel in the world. A decent temple with a large parking lot and well cleaned. Only cultural properties ...

    Original Text

    It is a Tendai sect temple on the shore of Lake Biwa at the foot of Mt. Hiei. It is said that the temple enshrining Jizo Bodhisattva founded by Saicho at the end of the Nara period was the predecessor, and it is said that the Eishin monk Genshin restored it as a dojo at the beginning of the Heian period and renamed it to Shoshu Raigyoji Temple. The front gate, the main hall, the guest hall, and the Kaisando, which were relocated from Sakamoto Castle, which was built by Akechi Mitsuhide, are designated as national important cultural properties. In addition, because there is a grave of kashinari mori (the father of moriranmaru) who served Nobunaga, he escaped from the burning of Mt. Hiei and owned many national treasures.

    A temple that escaped Nobunaga's burning of Mt. Hiei

    Original Text

    It is a temple of the Tendai sect along the prefectural road on the shores of Lake Biwa. There is a large parking lot. Although it is not so big, the mountain gate is the remains of Sakamoto Castle built by Akechi Mitsuhide. The main hall and Kaisando, which were rebuilt in the mid Edo period, are important cultural properties. There is also a graveyard of Kasei Mori, a vassal of Oda Nobunaga, and it is said that he escaped burning.

    It is a temple that escaped the burning of Nobunaga, which is called Seishu Raigyoji Temple.

    Original Text

    It is a temple at the foot of Mt. Hiei and is called Seishu Raigoji Temple. It's different from the name of the temple in the title, but it looks like the same temple because the address is the same. It is a temple of the Tendai sect that escaped the burning of Nobunaga, but the temples that are currently seen are built in the Edo period. The temple is large and the main hall is large, so it may be said that it is a large temple in this area. In the precincts, there is also a grave of the busho (Japanese military commander) Kasei Mori, who was a loyal retainer of Nobunaga. In the anime "Nobunaga's Ninja", it is depicted as a playful spear, so ...

    Very historic temple

    Original Text

    Although it is a little far from Sakamoto, it is a fairly old temple of the Tendai sect. There are many graveyards and cultural properties of historically important people, so it is a temple that you should take a closer look.
