Tourism - Myogenji: (Diese Seite in Deutsch lesen)
This temple is believed to have the oldest hall of the Shin sect in the Mikawa
region, known as the Yanagi-do. It is considered to be a superb example of Kamakura
period architecture and is an important national cultural property. The temple
was built in 1258 and contains the tombs of several Tokugawa warriors and the
famous scientist Dr. Honda Kotaro.
At the time of the Ikko riot, this temple sided with Tokugawa Ieyasu who is
traditionally said to have taken refuge in the temple.
