Former head temple lodge of Togakushi

• ⛩️In the era when Shinto and Buddhism were merged, this was Kanshuin, the head lodge overseeing Togakushi-san Kenkoji and the heart of the Shinano Tendai school.
• 📜After the Meiji separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the family has served Togakushi Shrine as Shinto priests.
• 🏯The main building was rebuilt in the early Showa era in shinden-zukuri style; writer Mushanokoji Saneatsu and several prime ministers have stayed here.
