Former Ichikawa House, Yotsudate01 ／ Black pine
The Garyu no Matsu pine in the grounds of Myosenji Temple is a natural monument designated by the city in 1980. It stands about 6.7 m tall, and its branches spread about 11.5 m east to west and about 12.3 m north to south. The city says the name seems to come from the spread of the trunk and branches, likened to a dragon lying down.
02 ／ Old kiln
This city-designated historic site lies in Suzukaze Park, Kaguyama 5-chome. A survey in 1982, ahead of a land readjustment project, found the kiln body almost fully intact apart from its ceiling. It is an anagama, a tunnel-type kiln, about 8 m long and about 2 m wide, with a flame-dividing pillar. The city says it is one of the Sanage kiln sites, where Sue ware and ash-glazed ware were made.
03 ／ Former main hall
The former main hall of Tenchi Shrine in Akaike-cho was designated a city building in 1983. A surviving ridge tablet records its rebuilding, and it was built in 1689 as the village's tutelary shrine under the control of Ryoenji Temple. Moved to the southeast of the precinct when a new main hall was planned, it was given a protective cover in 1989.
