Image
14th(Sat.) to 16th(Mon.) September is 3 days national holiday so we did camping at our  ordinary place . We stayed one night at 14th and 13th is full moon called Chushu no meigetsu because August 15th of the old calender is called "Chushu" so this moon is popular in Japan. Next day(15th Sunday), we left there at noon and visited around sakamoto area because my wife wants to stop by places related to akechi mitsuhide, famous warrior. We went to Saikyoji temple because there is a tomb of akechi mitsuhide. I was surprised that this is big temple ! It is the general headquarters of the Tendai Shinsei sect. Three headquarters of the Tendai is located in shiga prefecture. And there is special exhibition room for akechi mitsuhide. This is Sakamoto castle Ruins park and there is bronze statue of akechi mitsuhide.
