Kaiko Shrine

Inside the small town

Original Text

According to the origin of the precincts, it was built after Komoro Castle was abandoned in the Meiji era. However, it is not a completely new shrine, and it seems that several shrines that were originally in the castle were enshrined. Since one of them is Tenmangu, Sugawara no Michizane was the deity. The ruins of the castle tower were also in the precincts.

It is a shrine built on the site of the main enclosure of Komoro Castle.

　A nostalgic garden on the west side of Komoro Station. There were three gates at the entrance. If you proceed from the three gates, you will head to the center of the nostalgic garden, which is the ruins of Komoro Castle. There was a dismissal shrine around the center. It is said that the place where this dismissal shrine is built is the place where the main enclosure of Komoro Castle was. This shrine was built in 1897 when the ruins of Komoro Castle were maintained as a nostalgic garden.

It was founded in the Meiji period.

It will be the shrine of Komoro Castle Honmaru. The shrine was built in the Meiji era and is enshrined as a deity by Mr. Makino, the feudal lord, and Michizane Sugawara.

It is a shrine built on the main enclosure of Komoro Castle (Kaikoen). Like Ueda Shrine, it was built to worship the successive feudal lords of Mr. Makino, who were former feudal lords after the abandoned castle. However, unfortunately, the naming does not have as much impact as Sanada Shrine in Ueda. A mirror stone that is said to have been used by Kansuke Yamamoto is placed in the precincts. In addition, Sugawara no Michizane is enshrined, but I don't know the details. It's in the main enclosure of the old garden, so I think you can reach it without hesitation. ...

I stopped by when I visited "Kaikoen". After the Meiji Restoration, volunteers such as former feudal retainers who were worried about the devastating Komoro Castle gathered funds and built it by enshrining Tenmangu Shrine, Hosokusha, and the spirits of successive Komoro feudal lords at the site of the main enclosure. There is no place to see much, but there is a stone called kagami stone in front of the shrine building. It is said that Kansuke Yamamoto, who has a legend that he had the territory of Komoro Castle, used it, but there is no historical basis.
