These are the pictures of Gifu's Zenkoji and Hokkeji I took awhile back. Now these two temples are important and related to Nobunaga for one reason only. The Kyoto noble Yamashina Tokitsugu. When Tokitsugu made his trip from Kyoto to Gifu, he took the Nakasendo Highway. He made three trips between 1569 to 1571. His lodging in Gifu was Zenkoji near Inaba Jinja and Hokkeji. While in Gifu, he was able to visit the castle and the town in general. Nobunaga also gave him some hospitality as well.
Tenka no tame!
