承久の乱合戦供養塔, Memorial tower in Kakamigahara, Japan

The Jokyu War Memorial Tower stands within the grounds of Buganin Temple, serving as a monument to commemorate fallen warriors from medieval times.

The tower marks the location of a significant battle in 1221 between the Kamakura shogunate forces and imperial troops during the Jokyu War.

Local residents gather at this memorial tower to perform annual ceremonies and offer prayers for the souls of soldiers who lost their lives.

The memorial tower is accessible by taking the Fureai Bus to Maedo Fudo Mae stop or walking 50 minutes from JR Kakamigahara Station.

During construction work in 1932, workers discovered multiple gorintō stone monuments near the tower, dating from the 15th to 17th centuries.
