Rokkaku-do

Around May of the year 1903, Okakura Tenshin visited Goura under the guidance of Shūzan Oita, and two years later he was fond of this place and built Rokukaku-do. He is said to have served as a base for international activities, including working at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in the winter and indulging in musings in front of the Goura Sea in the summer. The Nagayamon and Tenshin Houses are listed as registered tangible cultural property, and the Tenshin House, Garden, Daigoura and Kogoura are listed as registered monuments, respectively.

It is located at the edge of Cape Otsu, which protrudes into the Pacific Ocean, and is the best spot with a view of the Meishatsu/Goura coast. There is a walking path in the park, and there are benches and a covered rest area. Lunch is also recommended on a sunny day. In addition, the Japan Art Institute Restoration Facility has been set up in the park.

Hongkei Temple

The year of Oei 21 (1414) is a famous temple of the Jodo sect, reportedly as the Genjon. A great deal of donation was made by the Tokugawa family to rebuild the main hall and bell tower (currently under reconstruction facilities and cannot be seen), from where they were deeply devoted to the tenth-generation Ryokujinjin, and established it as a bodhi-ji temple. The main hall, which is the best of the temple architecture of the early Edo period, is renovated in 2007. You can feel the power of the Tokugawa shogunate in the Buddhist tools and furnishings. On the left side of the main hall is the tomb of Chihime.

Shomei Temple

A temple of the Jōdo Shinshu Hongan-ji school. The first generation of the Seiki family, Asamitsu, who also participated in the shogunate as a sensei crowd, invited the younger brother of the clan, Shinbutsu, to open. It is said that the name of the temple, the name of the temple, is derived from the name of the law that Asamitsu came to the house and gave it to him. It holds a number of cultural treasures, including the "Shōjo Kanashu", which is said to be the autograph of Kinji, as well as portraits and wooden statues of the morning light, the Mireya Gate, and the Nijomon. At the back of the precinct, where there is a large ginkgo tree and a bronze statue of the saint, there are tombs ranging from the first morning light to the fourth generation Tokihiro.

Private Gardens
