There is a fairly flat land at the foot of Mt. Jyogane in uenaegi. It
is now covered with banboo grove and trees , but this is the site of Koeji
Temple and Samurai residence , and now there is one Kannon-do. The remains of
the temple's foundation stones , masonry , old wells , a garden pond ,
moats , etc. , as well as the Hokyointo and Gorinto towers remain in the
surrounding area.
According to "the history of Kiso ancient times" , there is
a mansion trace that still remains its trace on the flat land to the south
of the castle , and it is said that it is the residence trace of the castle
owner. There are several massions in the four-sided moat in the village
, all of which are called "chef retainer residences".
The area around the site of Koeji Temple is located on a hill in Fukuoka
, and the remains of a mansion remain. Probably , the samurai residences
were scattered from this area to the area around the ruins of Henkoji Temple.
Many of the medieval samurai lived in rural areas. Then , in the rural
arrea , they chose a hill overlooking the entire village , or a key point
of major transportation or a flat land , and set up mansions. |
