Ryūgenji Temple - Mitaka

It is a temple of the Soto sect that is not very large. There is a graveyard of Shinsengumi Kondo Isami.

The statue of Isami Kondo welcomed us. I also visited the grave. Many people came to worship. Near that, I could feel the history of the house where Isami Kondo was born.

It is a temple with the tomb of Isami Kondo, who is famous for Shinsengumi. It is a historical temple of the Soto sect.

It is about 200m walk from Hitomi Kaido from the Kondo Isami family. It is easy to understand because there is a bust of Yuu along the highway. It was a temple of the Soto sect that was quietly rooted in the area, and I was able to slowly remember it without any visitors.

A temple of the Soto sect that is perfect for Shinsengumi fans ? A stone monument erected by the Mitaka City Kendo Federation, which honors the samurai, Bakushin, Koyo Isami captain, Isami Kondo, who led the Shinsengumi as the director of the Shinsengumi from the front of the gate, and Isami Kondo & Tennen Rishin-ryu. There is an elongated stone monument that means the grave of Mr. Isami Kondo ✨ ✨ ✨ The main hall itself feels very normal ?? Furthermore, the precincts are a little spacious, but there are almost no highlights ? However, since it is also the family temple of Isami Kondo and the birthplace of Isami Kondo, the Miyagawa family, there are many famous clan graves in the graveyard and they are sleeping ? Especially in the place immediately after entering the graveyard, there is a grave of a relative from Mr. Isami Kondo ??? From the right, the family joint grave of Mr. Tsune Matsui (Kondo), a citizen who lived from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era, who lived without losing the blood of the clan even after Mr. Isami Kondo was executed as the wife of Mr. Isami Kondo Next door is Isami Kondo's grave, and next to him is Isami Kondo's daughter, Tama Kondo, a citizen of the Meiji era who died at a young age (25 years old), and his husband, Kondo, who was adopted by the Kondo family. After the death of Yugoro Kondo and Tama Kondo, the fifth generation swordsman of Tennen Rishin-ryu Swordsmanship, who kept the name of the house and introduced the retrospective talks of the late Tokugawa period to the world. The third son of Isami Kondo, the wife of Yugoro Kondo, a communal grave of Kashi Kondo, a citizen of the Meiji era. The grave of Shinkichi Kondo, a swordsman who was active in the Meiji era, the 7th swordsman, and the leftmost is Isami Kondo's only descendant, but at the young age of 23, a high sword patient sanatorium in China. There is a grave of Mr. Kutarou Kondo and Mr. Hikosuke Kondo, the citizens of the Meiji era who died of war in (Mukden) ? Especially, Mr. Isami Kondo's grave is a little taller ? At the grave of the Miyagawa family in front of the crossroads next to it, he served as the secretary of Isami Kondo's brother and Toshizo Hijikata, was involved in the murder of Ito with Kojiro Oishi and two others in the Aburanokoji incident, and was involved in the Tenmaya incident. There is also a grave of Mr. Nobuyoshi Miyagawa, a samurai who was active at the end of the Edo period, so don't miss it ? For the time being, relatives related to Mr. Isami Kondo are also sleeping, but I did not understand because the name is not written on the tombstone in detail, but I think that there are probably some who left their names in history ? Isami Kondo's grave is designated as a designated cultural property of Tokyo ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ According to the chief priest, this temple is not a tourist attraction, so please do not come too much, so we recommend that you visit it more carefully ???

A very dignified temple along the Hitomi Kaido. At the end of the Edo period, it is widely known that there is a grave of Isami Kondo, the director of the Shinsengumi and the captain of the Koyo troupe. Recommended for those who like temples. If you like history, you should definitely visit.

The grave of Isami Kondo is here. There is also the site of Isami Kondo's birthplace nearby, so if you're a Shinsengumi fan, it's a sacred place. The precincts had a refreshing atmosphere.
