concentric mansion

During the Kunohe Rebellion in Tensho 19 (1591), Asano Shigekichi, whose family was defending Toriyazaki Castle, left all but 30 men in one group under his command and formed the Hanamaki Doshin-gumi, moving to the castle's Ninomaru Babaguchi Gomon Shimoba. He was given a residence and lived in the area (today's south of Toriyazaki Shrine). It was relocated in March 1980 for preservation purposes, and is a highly valuable building from the late Edo period as a samurai residence in the style of a curved house from the feudal period. It has been designated as a cultural property by the city.

Osegawa Sansa Dance

It became established as a group dance for farmers to pray for a good harvest and to express the joy of a bountiful year.

Korinji Temple

A Jishu temple founded in 1280. It is said that it was founded by Michitsugu, the eldest son of Michishige Kono, the lord of Terabayashi Castle, who later became a devotee of Ippen Shonin, the founder of Jishu Buddhism, and with his cooperation established the Nenbutsu dojo. Many important documents are stored in the treasury. In the beautiful garden, a huge oak tree stands out.
