Folk tale of Konan Ward

Hidden village of Tametomo Minamotono, Kamiooka and Hino

The shrine of the morning

On the eastern hill where you can overlook the lively city of Kamiooka, there is a coppice forest, and the area is called "Hachirogaya".
Tame morning was the eighth child of Tameyoshi Minamotono, and was called Chinzei Hachiro, but in the rebellion of Hogen, both his father and his father fought along with Emperor Takashi Toku, and became a deceased person due to his break. It is said that he lived here.
On the steep cliff of this hill, there is a "Tame Dynasty Shrine", which is still being memorialized by neighbors on April 25.
Also, at the foot of this hill, there is a Kasaishi, which is said to be the tomb of the wife of Tamutomo.
And in 1869, when the cliffs of this hill collapsed, and when a pot with an old mirror was found in the side hole, it was said that this was a hiding hole in the morning. .
It is said that Tame morning worshiped the Jizo of gold on a daily basis, and it is said that the child education Jizo near Fuji Misaka in Hachirogaya has a connection with Tame Morning.
Although it has nothing to do with the legend of Tame Dynasty, there is a plate monument in the places of Kamiookahigashi, and there is an old house that has a legend with the descendants of Takeshi Kamakura.
There are many hidden villages of Heike throughout the country, but there is another rare hidden village of Genji in Konan Ward.
It is a place called Usagigaya, which is close to Kasuga Shrine.
Yoritomo Minamoto, who founded the Kamakura Shogunate, was washed away by Hiruga Kojima in Izu when he was a child. His younger brother, Yoshitsune, was assigned to Kurama-ji Temple in Kyoto.
Yoritomo's uncle, Juro Aramiya, became a trainee in the figure of Yamabushi, asked the samurai and walked in search of the revival of Genji.
I don't think we should forget the achievements of the Gyoke, who passed the Heike and added the clue to creating the world of Genji.
However, Yoritomo also defeated his younger brother Yoshitsune. Among the servants of the Gyoke, there was a samurai from Tainosho in Kii no Kuni (Wakayama Prefecture).
It is reported that these people lived secretly in Usagigaya at the back of the Hinokawa tributary after Yoritomo and Gyoke became friends.
