It holds documents of the Ashikaga, Imagawa, Toyotomi and Tokugawa that escaped war.
The large grounds of the temple of Kannon (the bodhisattva of compassion) hold old documents of the Ashikaga, the Imagawa, the Toyotomi and the Tokugawa, which have come down to the present day without being destroyed in the wars between 1333 and 1603. Reviews advise arriving early in the morning, before the heat.
The temple's full name is Kōkō-zan Kamoe-ji (甲江山鴨江寺). According to Wikipedia, it holds historical documents from four clans (Ashikaga, Imagawa, Toyotomi and Tokugawa) that survived the wars of the Muromachi and Sengoku periods, between 1333 and 1603.
ℹ️ The temple does not publish opening hours or admission prices. Fifteen minutes on foot from JR Hamamatsu Station; alternatively, the bus from platform 3 of the station bound for ‘鴨江廻り医療センター行き’, to the ‘鴨江観音’ bus stop.
