大友宗麟 Otomo Yoshishige (1530 - 1587).
Ōtomo Yoshishige, Ōtomo Sōrin, also known as Fujiwara no Yoshishige.
When Yoshishige turned Christian, he took the name of ドン・フランシスコ Don Francisco.
During the wars in Kyushi, his retainers even destroyed Buddhist temples.

Ōtomo Sōrin (大友宗麟, January 31, 1530 – June 11, 1587),

also known as Fujiwara no Yoshishige (藤原 義鎮) or Ōtomo Yoshishige (大友 義鎮),
was a Japanese feudal lord (daimyō) of the Ōtomo clan, one of the few to have converted to Roman Catholicism (Christianity). The eldest son of Ōtomo Yoshiaki, he inherited the Funai Domain, on Kyūshū, Japan's southernmost main island, from his father.
He is perhaps most significant for having appealed to Toyotomi Hideyoshi to intervene in Kyūshū against the Shimazu clan, thus spurring Hideyoshi's Kyūshū Campaign of 1587.

At 龍福山長谷寺 the Temple Ryufukuzan Hasedera there lived an old priest named
Akobo Chosui Hoin 阿光坊澄水法印.
In the year 1593 on September 21, he went out in the garden with a pot of water.
He sprinkled the water into the sky.
When people asked him what he was doing, he said:
"There is a fire at the temple in 高野山 Koyasan and I want to stop it."
Later they learned that there was indeed a fire at Koyasan.

継鹿尾山 Tsugaozan 八葉蓮台寺 Hachiyorendai-Ji 寂光院 Jakko-In

愛知県犬山市継鹿尾杉之段12 / Aichi, Inuyama city, Tsugao, Suginodan

Also called Tsugao Kannon つがお観音 or Momijidera もみじ寺 Temple with Maple Leaves
Founded in 654.

- quote
Jakkoin Temple, The Maple Leaf Temple
The 320 steps leading up the steep mountainside to the Jakkoin, a small but picturesque temple atop a mountain on the outskirts of Inuyama City, are interspersed by seven places of worship to enable you to be come a better person. Mind you, these 320 steps begin at the car park half way up the mountain. For most, the journey begins at the foot of the mountain. (You don’t want to know how many steps there are from the bottom!) The path to the top is indeed difficult, but among the temple’s visitors are a large number of elderly, some in their 80’s and still trying their best to climb the steps. Half way up, there is a six person capacity monorail available for a nominal fee. (The monorail moves so slowly, it is almost faster to walk!)
Along the steep and arduous path up the mountain are small Jizo statues, protectors of travelers and children, great stone lanterns and Buddhist icons of the seven Gods of Fortune.
At the top is the Jakkoin, a simple yet elegant temple. It’s quite small compared to what you’d see in Kyoto or other major tourist areas, and consists of two halls, joined by a short arched bridge. Jakkoin is most famous for its autumn leaves and spring flowers. Despite being slightly off the tourist path, Jakkoin is a popular tourist destination, and unlike many popular temples, does not look to bleed the tourist in any way. There are no shops or stalls, though a small selection of charms are available, but no one to sell them. Visitors just drop their money in the tin.
The main hall is filled by people offering prayers to the deity, the Thousand-Hand Kannon, Goddess of Mercy statue, and looking heavenward to view the beautifully painted ceiling. Take a turn at striking the great temple bell. It is said that praying for your dreams while striking the bell makes your dream come true.
The view from the lookout area was a favorite of the local Lord, Oda Nobunaga, the first of the Three Unifiers of Japan, and a revered hero to this day! Nobunaga is said to have visited often, as the lookout area provided a fine view of the wide Nobi Plain, his nearby Inuyama Castle, as well as the castles of Gifu, Komaki and Nagoya in the distance and the flat lands of neighboring Gifu Prefecture too. It is a magnificent view, particularly in the spring and autumn months when Jakkoin is absolutely stunning.

Tenryuuji, Tenryūji 天龍寺 Tenryu-Ji - Shinjuku
護本山 Gohonzan 天龍寺 / 天竜寺 Tenryuji

新宿区新宿4-3-19 / Shinjuku

The main statue is Senju Kannon 千手観音 with 1000 arms

- quote
Tenryuji Temple is a burst of Edo Period history.
Like its cousin in Ueno, Tenryuji Temple's Bell of Time - known as toki no kane in Japanese - was used to keep time for the citizens of old Edo. The bell also served as a reminder for the customers of the nearby 'pleasure quarters' to leave the premises...
Established at the end of the 16th century,
the temple is closely associated with the Tokugawa Shogunate and was connected with the family temple of the father of Lady Saigo, Tokugawa Ieyasu's trusted concubine. Perhaps because of such political connections, a number of the temple's older features are still extant. The Bell of Time, now a Cultural Property of the city, of course still stands as does the romon-styled temple gate. Both structures are easily recognised by their distinctive designs, completely at odds with the modern buildings around them.
A cemetery can be found here and if you can, take note of the surrealistically aged tombstone markings and the standing Jizo statues.
The main hall of the temple, though a modern concrete-reinforced structure, is robustly handsome with crisp, clean designs.
Just outside of the temple at its base stands a statue of Kannon, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy.

Bells were the clocks of Old Edo. Every temple compound had one.

. daija, orochi 大蛇 the huge serpent, great snake .
The border between 栗本郡 / 「くりたぐん」 Kurita district and 野洲郡 Yasu district was a large river.
At 三上山 Mount Mikamiyama the river divided into two. 南川 Minamikawa became a deep river pool at 土山 Mount Tsuchiyama.
In former times daija 大蛇 a huge serpent lived in the river pool.
During the reign of 嵯峨天皇 Saga Tenno there was a great noisy earthquake.
When he asked a diviner about the earthquake, Saga Tenno was told that orochi おろち a huge serpent was living in the river, wanting to kill the Emperor.
The emperor invited the local farmers and asked them to get rid of the serpent. A few thousand came together and finally drove the serpent away.
The temple Daikōmyō-Ji 大光明寺 Daikomyo-Ji was built in rememberance of this event.

Mount Mikami (三上山, "Mikami Yama", meaning Mikami Mountain)

a mountain, 432 metres (1,417 ft) above sea level, located in Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
In spite of its relatively low altitude, it is also called "Ōmi Fuji", that is Mount Fuji of Ōmi Province, the old name of Shiga Prefecture, because of its conical shape standing out in the flat area on the shores of Lake Biwa.
At the foot of Mount Mikami is the Shintoist Mikami Shrine (御神神社, "Mikami Jinja", meaning the Gods' Shrine)
Mount Mikami, nearer to Kyoto, the traditional capital of Japan, has appeared in the Japanese literature from the ancient times. It is particularly noted for the legend of "Fujiwara no Hidesato Conquering the Giant Centipede of Mount Mikami".
