It is said that Ieyasu Tokugawa set up a camp at this temple to control Mikawa Ikkou Ikki.

Joshuin is a famous temple for Ikko-ikki, isn't it? In Ikko-ikki in 1563, the Okubo Ikki party living in Kamiwada confronted Ikki, and Ieyasu also took the lead to control the Ikki, resulting in a fierce battle. Actually, at that time, this Joshuin was the headquarters of Ieyasu. It is said that the Okubo family, an old vassal, joined the army, and Joshuin Sueji and Danjin joined to protect Ieyasu. After a fierce battle, in February 1564, peace was exchanged in front of the Taishido in the precincts of this Joshuin. That's right, it is considered to be a historically important temple that helped to solidify the foundation of Mikawa unification. By the way, Mikawa Ikko-ikki is an event that has been handed down as one of the three major crises of Ieyasu alongside the battle of Mikatagahara and the god Iga crossing. Joshuin was called Seikouin Daikaiji Temple, the founder of Ennin, the ambassador of the Tendai sect, during the year of Emperor Ninmyō's 54th generation (834-848). During the year of Oei (1394-1428), it was converted to the Jodo sect and revived by the eldest son of the second generation of the Matsudaira family, Yasuchika. In the precincts, there is the tomb of Mitsugi Castle owner, Nobutaka Matsudaira (younger brother of Ieyasu's grandfather). In addition, the ginkgo tree, which is said to be 500 years old and is designated as a famous tree in Okazaki City, rises in a narrow space. Below is a partial excerpt from the Joshuin website ---------------------- However, after that, when Ieyasu was hostile to Ieyasu in the 6th year of Eiroku (1563), Ieyasu also set up a camp on all four sides of the mountain and made the mountain the main camp. The Okubo family, an old vassal, joined the army, and Toyama Sueji and Danjin joined to protect it. The following year, Ieyasu was very angry when he heard from Jogen Okubo (Tadatoshi), who had been mediating with Ikko-shu's rebellion, that he would succumb if he was released from his predecessor. In order to destroy all the temples of the Ikko sect, Jodo Shinshu, Jodo (Tadayoshi Okubo) and Toyama priest Toshiku (Fourth generation of Toyama) stopped Mima's mouth and said, Please refrain from useless murders. " Forgive me. At that time, Ieyasu gave a bite of a bonsho to the memorial service of his grandfather Kiyoyasu and his father Hirotada, along with the mortuary tablets of Kiyoyasu and Hirotada. This mountain is one of the oldest temples in the area that is closely related to the Tokugawa and Matsudaira families. It is also a symbol of peace, where Ieyasu Tokugawa laid the foundation for 300 years of Tokugawa by concluding peace with Mikawa Ikko-ikki without condemning anyone. We hope you enjoy it slowly.
