Hongenji Temple

Hongen-ji Temple was built in 1607 as the family temple of the Mori family, the lords of the Tsuyama domain. The highly decorative mausoleum and front gate were built in 1639, and are valuable mausoleum architecture from the early Edo period. Behind the mausoleum is the large five-ringed pagoda tomb of Tadamasa Mori and others, and together with the stone-paved approach and stone lanterns, it maintains its dignity as the family place of the Tsuyama feudal lords.
