Rokkakudo (Ibaraki University Gutsu Art and Culture Research Institute)

Rokkakudo is the symbol of the Tenshin ruins. Okakura Tenshin visited Utsu around May of Meiji 36 (1903) with the guidance of Hida Shuzan, and he was very fond of this place. Two years later, he built Rokkakudo on the cliff above Utsu Beach. It is said that he used it as a base for his international activities, spending winters working at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and summers contemplating in front of the sea at Utsu. Rokkakudo, along with the Tenshin residence where Tenshin lived and the Nagaya gate, is referred to as the Tenshin ruins and has been registered as a national tangible cultural property. Furthermore, the Tenshin residence, garden, Dai-Utsu, and Ko-Utsu have each been designated as national registered monuments.

Tenshin Memorial Goura Museum, Ibaraki

The museum is located on the Goura coast, where Okakura Tenshin was the base for his activities in his later years. He raised Taikan Yokoyama and Harusa Hishida as principals of the Tokyo School of Fine Arts (now Tokyo University of the Arts), and later founded the Nihon Art Institute. In addition to the permanent exhibition of materials related to Tenshin and the works of his disciples, he also holds planned exhibitions focusing on modern Japanese paintings from time to time. At the former Tenshin residence (Ibaraki University's Goura Institute of Art and Culture), which is about 0.5km from the museum, there is a Rokkakudo hall in which Tenshin indulged in meditation.

Goura Cape Park

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.
