Hidden Village in Tametomo Minamotono

On the eastern hill where you can overlook the lively city of Kamiooka, there is a coppice forest, and the whole area is called Hachirogaya.
In the morning, Tameyoshi Minamotono was the eighth child of Tameyoshi Minamotono and was called Hachiro Chinzei, but in the rebellion of Hogen, his father fought against Emperor Takashi Toku, and became a deceased person. It is said that he lived.
On the steep cliff of this hill, there is a "Tamacho no Shrine", which is still memorialized by neighbors on April 25.
In addition, at the foot of this hill, Kasaishi, which is said to be the tomb of the wife of Tamecho, is enshrined.
It is said that when the cliff of this hill broke down in 1869, and when a pot with an old mirror was found from the side hole, it became a great deal to see if it was a hidden hole in the morning.
It is said that the Jizo-sama usually worshiped the gold Jizo in the morning, and it is said that the child-care Jizo near Fuji Misaka in Hachirogaya has a connection with Tame Morning.
Although it is not directly related to the legend of Tamecho, there are plate monuments in the east of Kamiooka, and there are also old houses that have legends of Takeshi Kamakura.
There are many hidden villages of the Heike family throughout the country, but in this Konan Ward there is another rare hidden village of Genji.
It is a place called Usagaya, 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 placed at Kurama-ji Temple in Kyoto.
Yoritomo's uncle, Juro Aramiya, became a practitioner in the form of Yamabushi and walked around asking the samurai to call for the revival of Genji.
I don't think we should forget the achievements of the Gyoke, who put the clue to creating the world of Genji.
However, Yoritomo has defeated this servant and his brother Yoshitsune. Among the servants of the Gyoke family, there was a samurai from Tainosho in Kii no Kuni (Wakayama Prefecture).
These people are reportedly hiding in Usagigaya, behind the Hinokawa tributary since Yoritomo and his family became friends.
