    Niigata Tsubame-shi Kugami
    The shrine office of a shrine subordinate to Yahiko Shrine. The Soto Buddhist monk Ryokan moved into this thatched hut in 1816 after the Gogoan hut in which he had spent his prime had deteriorated with the years and his aging body made it difficult for him to climb and descend the mountain on which it was located. During the ten years Ryokan spent here, his art and calligraphy reached their highest maturity, and the monk produced many great works. The current hut was rebuilt in 1987. A stone monument, erected in 1858, stands on the grounds and is believed to be the oldest extant such monument inscribed with a poem by Ryokan.
