While I was studying and writing about Okehazama, one subject caught my attention. Imagawa Yoshimoto has various tombs in around Aichi Prefecture and in Shizuoka. The one above is located at Daisyoji Temple Aichi Prefecture, Ushikubo Town.
There are seven known to date.
- Shogakuji Shinkawa Town, Sukaguchi
- Nishio-shi
- Daisyoji Temple, Ushikubo Town
- Rinzaiji Temple, Shizuoka-shi, Shizuoka Prefecture
- Tokai-shi
- Okehazama Battlefield (Toyoake City location)
- Okehazama Battlefield (Arimatsu location)
Here is a photo of the Okehazama Walking Tour that I participated in last month.
Here is also a link to the Moon Viewing Festival.

That's interesting. I wonder why there are so many tombs? Are they just various shrines to him I suppose?
Nobunaga has quite a bit as well. I am bit surprised myself. At the Ushikubo Town area, you can also visit Yamamoto Kansuke's grave as well.
There are about 200 Toshogu shrines throughout the country for Tokugawa Ieyasu. But of course he was deified which is why there are so many.
Wow! That is a lot. Thanks for the information.
