Ōtōin The founding of Oto-in is unknown, but it is believed that it was built in the Nara and Heian periods, and that the monks of the Tendai sect lived there to pray to the dead. It is recorded that Daito-in became a Soto School temple in the first year of Keicho (1596). Otoin Temple is a family temple where the ancestors and deceased members of the Dan family are memorialized. In addition, as a temple open to the community, we are actively engaged in cultural activities such as concerts using the main hall (temple con), art exhibitions in the gallery, history study groups, small Buddha carving classes, calligraphy classes, flower arrangement classes, etc., and we continue to be active as a temple open to the community as a family temple for the Dan family.

It is said that this large ginkgo was used as a landmark of Hananoi Village during the Tone River water transportation in the Edo period. Even now, you can see it well from the Ōtone Bridge. According to the "Chinju Forest Tree Survey Research" Implementation in 2004 (Heisei 16), ginkgo biloba (5.32 m) is considered to be the thickest trunk circumference in Kashiwa City. In 1981 (Showa 56) (1981), it became a designated protected tree (designation number 290) in Kashiwa City. ・Bentendo Bentendo, built in 1864, was demolished due to deterioration in the Showa 50. The inauguration ceremony of the current Bentendo was held in November 1998 (Heisei 10) (1998). The Bentendo enshrines Benzaiten, an eight-armed statue with the god Uga and a Torii (shrine gate) gate above his head. In his hand, he holds a long halberd, an orb, and a key to the treasury. The crocodile mouth attached to the old Bentendo Hall is engraved with the names of 24 donors from the tenth year of Tenpo (1839), indicating that the Bentendo has existed since ancient times. This crocodile mouth is attached to the Shin Bentendo and still resonates with the sound of the Tenpo era.

【Introduction of deep spots in Taiki Town】 📍 Former JNR Hiroo Line Taiki Station Ruins In Taiki Town, there are still the remains of the station building of the Hiroo Line, a railway connecting Obihiro and Hiroo, which operated until Showa 62. Taiju Station opened in 1930 (Showa 5), and at its peak, the number of passengers per day exceeded 1,000 Use. The place where the tracks used to be is now a square called "Taiju Traffic Park", and the station building still remains. You can't go inside the building, but if you look through the window, you can see that the ticket gates and waiting rooms are still there. On the remains of the platform, there are still station name signs and signal levers. In Hakurin Park on the north side of Taiki Town Town Hall, the SL "No. 59611", which ran on the Hiroo Line until 1975 (Showa 50) after being active in various parts of Hokkaido, is on display. It seems that it was installed at the urging of SL fans in the town. Why don't you come and feel the remnants of the railway running in Taiki Town?

【Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property Iwashina School】 A school of sea cucumber walls and shrine-like architecture completed in Meiji 13 (1880). Incorporating the traditional architectural methods of Matsuzaki Town and Western architectural styles, it is known as the oldest school building in the Izu area as a masterpiece of wooden architecture. It is a two-story wooden hipped building, the building is symmetrical, and the exterior is a "sea cucumber wall". The Tonshi of "Iwashina School" displayed at the main entrance is the calligraphy of Sanjo Sanetomi, the Minister of Taisei at the time, and the dragon on it is said to have been carved by Chohachi Irie by borrowing the "chisel" of the building beam. It is an impressive building with a Western-style design, and is known in Japan as the second oldest after the former Rikuzawa School in Kofu and the former Kaichi School in Matsumoto, and was designated as an important cultural property of Japan in Showa 50 (1975). In Matsuzaki, there was a high enthusiasm for the promotion of education in the village, and donations were collected for the construction of the school building, and more than 40% of the total construction cost was covered by donations.

【Chohachi Memorial Hall】 You can see the works of Chohachi Irie, a native of Matsuzaki who made a name for himself as a master plasterer craftsman in the Edo period. Chohachi Irie went to Edo at the age of 23 to study the paintings of the Kano school, while mastering the art of sculpture and plasticity, applying it to the work of plastering, and perfecting Chohachi's unique art of painting with plaster and trowel. Chohachi worked tirelessly in Edo, but at that time there were many fires in Edo, and most of the works were destroyed by fire, and the remaining works were lost in the earthquake and war, so there are very few surviving works, except for the works that remain in Matsuzaki Town. The memorial hall is located in Jokanji Temple, the last temple of Jodo Shinshu Nishi Honganji. This is because when Chohachi rebuilt Jokanji Temple (2nd year of Hiroka), he brought in two disciples from Edo and left the ceiling paintings, sculptures, and stucco work in the temple. In addition, in Heisei 23 (2011), "Unryu" and "A pair of statues of Hiten" were designated as Shizuoka Prefecture Tangible Cultural Properties.

【武士の誉れ】✕【俥天力】 新世界は通天閣で人力車観光ガイドをサービスとしています俥天力さんに挨拶🙇… だけでなく色々とお願いしてきました。 『武道を興さんとならば、先ず恥の一字より興すべし』 我々は、本来行うべき仕事以上に、名を上げることができる行いはない… 経済的な事情で内職をしたり農業にいそしんだりしても、武士であれば、武士として何ができるかを考えるべきだという意味らしく、早速、俥天力 様にコラボ撮影をお願いしてきました🙏 忙しいときにご迷惑をおかけして、かたじけない。 ⚔侍は走らない。 走ってはならない。 いかにも悠々として歩く。 侍が走る時は、一大事が起きた時だけだ ⚔侍は常に両手をあけている。 いつでも抜刀できるように。 通常、荷物は持たない。 荷物がある場合には、従者に持たせる。 馬に積む。 どちらもいない場合は #人力車 に乗る⚔ 俥天力 Samurai Honor Honor of the Samurai✕Jinrikisha Tenriki I went to Shinsekai to say hello🙇 to Jikisha Tenriki, a rickshaw tour guide service in Tsutenkaku, and also to ask him for some help. If you want to start a martial art, you must first start with a word of shame. It seems to mean that we should think about what we can do as a warrior, even if we are doing domestic work or farming for economic reasons. I apologize for the inconvenience at this busy time. ⚔Samurai do not run. Do not run. They walk in a very leisurely manner. The only time a ⚔samurai runs is when something big is happening. ⚔The Samurai always keep their hands open. ⚔Samurai always keep their hands open so that they can draw their swords at any time. They usually carry no baggage. If they have luggage, they have their attendants carry it. If there is luggage, it is carried by a follower or loaded on a horse. If neither is available, they ride in a #jinrikisha⚔. jinrikisha tenriki Samurai Honor
