Historical Spots in Ako（12）

Jingoji temple

　It has been handed down that "Shingo temple"had been built by
Mongakujojin(about 800 years ago). In the latter 16th in the war
which had something to do with conquest China of Hideyoshi
Toyotomi it was burned. As a result it was rebuilt. But we cannot
find the old trace because of this temple's wildness.
　But it has been handed down that Oishike loved this place,and
built cottage in this temple, enjoyed and loved this nature since
Asanoke ruled Ako.
