Kandatenjinjya shirine

This shrine was built by a provincial governor known as Iseo Fujiwara in 842, and became known as Kandaten Shrine following the joint enshrinement of Sugawara no Michizane–a scholar, poet and politician of the Heian period–in 1004 who is also revered as the guardian deity of the Kai Genji clan from which the Takeda family descends. The temple is famous for having in its collection the Kozakurakawaodoshi Yoroi, a suit of armor that was a symbol of inheritance and succession for generations of the Takeda family. This suit of armor is also known as the Tatenashi no Yoroi, or "armor of no shield", since it is constructed to be sturdy enough to protect against arrows and blades without the need for a shield.

Keitokuin Temple
Katsuyori Takeda attempted to take Tenmokuzan on March 11, 1582, but was defeated by the combined armies of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, which, sadly, brought the Takeda family to an end. In July of the same year, Tokugawa Ieyasu began construction of the Tendozan Keitokuin temple with the hope of bringing greater happiness to the world. It was finished in 1588. It was a magnificent temple compound containing seven structures at the time, but two major fires destroyed all of the original structures save the temple gate. Nevertheless, the calm, Zen atmosphere gently sooths the souls of those that visit. Close to the temple gate are stones marked the supposed locations where Katsuyori (37), his wife at the time (19) and his son Nobukatsu (16) committed suicide. Their graves can be found lined up next to each other, with a total of 50 other graves in the area belonging to officers, soldiers, maids and other people of the time.
