金王石造五輪塔

It is said that it is a prefectural treasure of Nagano prefecture, but it seems that the wooden enclosure is confining the Gorinto, and the board of education's Noh (art) is too lacking.

There is an old book about the Olympic towers of Oka Castle (Okamura Castle) and Gonzaemon Okamura, which are nearby, but this is a big difference from the local manual. Quoted below Along the Bessho Highway, enter Maita to the small mountain on the right, and go straight along the farm road for about 400m. At the foot of the mountain, at the foot of Maida Park, there is a heavy, old-fashioned Olympic tower. There are many stone cultural properties in Shiodadaira, but among them, this tower has a magnificent appearance. Total height 212 cm It can be said that it is the oldest and largest Olympic pagoda in the prefecture as a prize for the Kamakura period. The Olympic Tower is said to have been built from the respect of the Dainichi Nyorai, but it was later built as a memorial tower for people with higher ranks. Let's take a look at the picture of the Olympic Tower on the left. From the bottom, a rectangular parallelepiped wheel, a spherical water wheel, a roof-like fire wheel, a hemispherical wind wheel, and a dumpling-shaped empty wheel It is called an Olympic tower because it has a stack of stones. ◆ Ground wheel-About half the height of the width, it is stable. ◆ Water Transport-A slightly crushed spherical shape, with a powerful "Bonji" (ancient Indian character) on each side, engraved with a "ban" (Dainichi Nyorai). ◆ Fire ring-The shape of a square pyramid cut off at the top, the height of the tower with a low roof, looks like it is slightly bulging upwards. The vertical lines of the eaves are parallel and gentle curves, and the cuts at the left and right ends are vertical. ◆Wind/Sky Wheel-A wind wheel that is made of one stone, has a well-curved wind wheel, and a dumpling-shaped sky wheel that has a slightly pointed top. It is presumed to have been built in the early Kamakura period in view of the strong tension of the water ring and the power of the four-sided Sanskrit, the old style of the fire ring, the wind and the sky ring, and the simple personality. The origin of the Maida Olympics tower is according to the Buddhist temple legend of Hojuin in Maida. It is said to be the grave tower of Shibuya Tosa. As a result of recent research, it is presumed that this Masajun was known as the warlord of the Kamakura era, Kintomaru Masatoshi Tosabo Masatoshi. Masatoshi was born in Sagami country (Kanagawa prefecture) and served Minamoto no Yoritomo and others, and was hailed as his hero. It is thought that this Olympic tower was built by a person who is related to Shibuya Kinnomaru.
