Ruins of Aioido

Minamoto no Yoritomo and Bunkakujin met secretly to discuss the revival of the Minamoto clan. It is said that Bunkakujin persuaded Yoritomo to defeat the Heike here, and urged him to make up his mind.
　However, after the Meiji Restoration, it was abandoned, and eventually it decayed before I knew it.

Buddha's Path
　
It was enshrined here to comfort the spirits of unrelated travelers who died here a long time ago.
Every year in Spring and autumn, a memorial service is held on the other side of the river to pray for the safety of those who visit for sightseeing.
　In commemoration of this, Yoritomo and Bunkakujin built a temple here to enshrinement the Bodhisattva Kanzenon. This is the so-called "Aioido".
　In the 3rd year of Kenkyu (292), Yoritomo, who destroyed the Heike and Fujiwara clans and established the Kamakura shogunate, did not forget the day he met the Bunkakujin and donated 200 koku of the temple territory to Aioi-do.
