Overview

Goshushi is a stamp of warrior issued to a temple or a shrine as a proof of payment. The payment of sutras refers to paying sutras to shrines and shrines in order to pray for peace in this world, good luck in the afterlife, or for memorial service, but since the Heian period about 1,000 years ago, not only monks, but also nobles and samurai It is said that he started to pay. And now, we have got a red seal as a proof of worship. The town originated from the castle town of Mihara Castle, which is known as "Ukishiro / Ukishiro" because it appears to float on the sea at high tide. Walking through `` Castle Town Mihara '' where many shrines and shrines gathered by Tomokazu Kobayakawa who built Mihara Castle are still scattered nowadays, it is excellent at defense of castles, such as difficult-to-attack 1-letter and key-shaped alleys and steps to prevent flood damage You can see that it was. Urbanization has progressed, and the castle has disappeared, but the beautiful stone walls of Tenshudai still remain. Please enjoy the Mihara Goshushi tour while feeling the remnants of the castle.
