Takadachi Gikeidō, Memorial hall in Hiraizumi, Japan
The memorial hall sits atop a hill overlooking the Kitakami River, featuring traditional Japanese architecture with wooden beams and curved rooflines.
Date Tsunamura established this shrine in 1683 to commemorate Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a legendary samurai who met his end at this location.
The site preserves artifacts and exhibitions that document the relationships between samurai warriors, their loyal retainers, and medieval Japanese society.
Visitors can access the memorial hall daily from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with entrance fees of 300 yen for adults and 100 yen for children.
The hall stands at the exact spot where Benkei, a warrior monk, defended his lord Yoshitsune in a final battle against pursuing forces.
