Tondabayashi Kōshōji Betsu-in (Tondabayashi Gohō) (富田林 興正寺別院（富田林御坊）)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A venerable temple founded around 1560 during the Sengoku period, coinciding with the construction of Tondabayashi temple town. The temple town developed as a moated settlement with a neat grid layout centered on Kōshōji Betsu-in, and many townhouses from the Edo period still remain. It has been designated as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings. The streetscape of the temple town spreading from the temple grounds conveys the history of town-building centered on the temple to this day.

Tips

Within walking distance from Tondabayashi Station on the Kintetsu Nagano Line. The temple grounds are a quiet place of worship, so please visit respectfully. The surrounding alleys are narrow, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Best time to visit

Approximately 45 minutes. The afternoon hours when the sunlight softens are easier for exploring.
