Ryōgen-ji

Ryōgen-ji sits above the Isumi River, featuring traditional wooden structures and three pagoda-shaped tombstones within its carefully maintained temple grounds.

Honda Tadakatsu, a daimyo loyal to Tokugawa Ieyasu, established the temple in 1595 as part of the strategic development of Otaki Castle town.

The temple belongs to the Jodo-shu Buddhist sect and houses numerous historical artifacts, including portraits and documents related to the Honda clan.

Visitors can explore the temple grounds, main hall, and grave site, which offers a direct view toward the former location of Otaki Castle.

The temple contains three one-meter-high pagoda tombstones arranged to honor Honda Tadakatsu, his wife, and his younger son Honda Tadatomo.
