Zenmyōshō-in

Zenmyōshō-in temple features traditional wooden structures, carvings of the Rokumonsen symbol, and a garden dedicated to meditation and contemplation.

Established in 1741, the temple served as a residence for the Sanada family during their exile following the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600.

The temple maintains a small museum displaying artifacts from the Sanada clan, including weapons, letters, and tools used for crafting Sanada Himo braids.

Located within walking distance from Kudoyama Station, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM without admission fees.

The temple grounds contain a covered well known as Kaminari Fūji, where Yukimura Sanada reportedly trapped thunder and lightning to protect the town.
