鴻巣御殿跡（東照宮祠）

Konosu Palace is not written anywhere, so it seems to pass by. He was really small and well left. A little different world.

A small shrine is sitting. Although there is no former image of Konosu palace.

I went to worship after seeing the reviews of other people. Certainly, it has a different dimension, and it feels like it has existed well. Somehow I felt at ease.

It is the smallest Toshogu Shrine in Japan, and it was originally used as a resting place when hunting falcons at the place where the Tokugawa family palace was located.

Toshogu, the smallest Toshogu in Japan ⛩ It was a really small, small company made out of just stone ???‼ ️ But when I passed through the torii, it became a strange atmosphere for some reason, and I realized that it was a wonderful place.

Easy access from Konosu station and the old Nakasendo. I'm a local, but I happened to find it while walking my dog.

It's a shrine aimed at topicality. In the early Edo period, the palace was built as a resting place for falconry of Ieyasu, Hidetada, and Iemitsu. It is said that it has decayed. Toshogu, the smallest in Japan, is exaggerated, but if you think it's fashionable, that's fine.

At the moment, Konosu City is strongly appealing that it is the place where Ieyasu-related "Konosu Palace" was located. When you go to Konosu City Hall, you can see that the model of Konosu Palace is displayed in a large space. As for the state of the site of the Konosu palace, the site is lonely. It may have been a long time ago that it became a private land and the situation was unacceptable, but the city should make the area more important and appealing as a tourist spot. The historical value of this point is as follows (from the signboard installed in Konosu City). "Konosu Goten was built by Ieyasu Tokugawa in 1593 as a lodging and resting place for falconry and territorial inspections, and the site covered 4 hectares of one town. , Hidetada and Iemitsu were used as a resting place for the general's falconry for three generations, but they were no longer used after the 7th year of Kanei (1630). After the Great Edo Fire in 1657, a part of it was demolished and transported to Edo Castle. Around 1682, the remaining buildings also decayed and collapsed, and in the 4th year of Genroku (Genroku 4). In 1691), Toshogu was enshrined in the palace and was removed. The Toshogu Shrine was also enshrined at Ko Shrine in the 30's of the Meiji era, and the former Gotenchi became a private land after that. Until recently, the fixed site of the former Konosu Goten site was not clear, but a part of it was confirmed by the 1994 exploratory excavation survey. The Konosu palace is depicted in the "Edo Folding Screen", and you can see how it looks. " We have to devise to convey its value more!
