Tamon Shrine in Ōyagyūchō, Nara-ken!
  • 11 years ago
This the Tamon Shrine (多聞神社) in Ōyagyūchō, Nara-ken. It’s on the opposite site of the Yagyuuyamaguchi Shrine and sits on a hill surrounded by farmers. It’s quite old I believe and its history dates back to the 16th century!
Yagyu Village (柳生の里) is located east side of Nara Prefecture. It is the home land of Yagyu clan and Yagyu Shinkage Ryu. There are many buildings and spots which are related with Yagyu clan, including their graves, the school, and ruins of houses.
The area was the former territory of the Yagyu clan, who became famous as the sword instructors to the Tokugawa Shogun with their famous school of Yagyū Shinkage ryū.
