Temple
A temple in Nagasaki, Maruoka-cho, Sakai City. In began in 721 as a hall containing the image of Amitabha founded by the monk Taicho on imperial request from Empress Gensho. Later, during the Kamakura period, the monk Ippen expanded it into a Jishu Sect temple and it flourished as the premier Amitabha prayer location in the Hokuriku region. It's also registered as a historic location of the prefecture due to being the gravesite for the samurai Nitta Yoshisada who was active during the Nanboku-cho period (mid-late 14th century).

    天皇・公家側の武士であった新田義貞公墓所前に、10年も墓所前に住んでいた明智光秀公。武士の正統派、清和源氏の意地と決意が偲ばれる。光秀公の心中いかに。

    丸岡城を見に行った時に、観光案内に乗っていたこの称念寺にも立ち寄りました。新田義貞が葬られたと伝えられている由緒正しいお寺だそうです。
