Keitokuin

The temple grounds contain several historic buildings, including a preserved main gate designated as a prefectural cultural property of Yamanashi Prefecture.

The temple was established in 1583 by Tokugawa Ieyasu to commemorate Takeda Katsuyori and his family members who died during the fall of the Takeda clan.

The temple serves as a memorial site with burial stones and monuments dedicated to the Takeda clan, preserving their legacy in Japanese feudal history.

Visitors can access the temple via a 10-minute walk from the Keitokuin-Iriguchi bus stop, with parking facilities available for 30 cars and 5 buses.

In 2006, researchers discovered numerous stone tablets from the mid-Edo period bearing Buddhist inscriptions dedicated to Takeda Katsuyori.
