Noma Daibo 野間大坊
Noma Daibo, or formally named Omidoji Temple, is a temple belonging to the Shingon sect of Buddhism. Its history dates back to the era ruled by Emperor Tenmu in the middle of the 7th century.
Noma Daibo
is famous as the place where Minamoto no Yoshitomo, the father of Yoritomo and Yoshitsune, was killed unarmed when he was taking a bath. In 1159, Yoshitomo was defeated by the Taira clan in the Heiji Rebellion and escaped from Kyoto, heading for the east via Mino province and Chita Peninsula. In the village of Noma, Yoshitomo stayed at the residence of Osada Tadamune, Yoshitomo’s retainer Kamata Masakiyo’s father-in-law, who betrayed Yoshitomo for the reward from the Taira clan and killed him in the bathroom.
In the precinct is Yoshitomo’s grave,
which is surrounded by wooden swords, as it is said that Yoshitomo’s last words were
“If only I had a wooden sword, I wouldn’t have been killed.”
It is also believed that one who dedicates a wooden sword here will have his prayer answered.
The Blood Pond,
where the betrayers washed Yoshitomo’s head, and the ruins of the bathroom also remain in the precinct.

The temple was founded by Kobo Daishi, who came here in 810 and carved three statues of himself.

- quote
Henjoin Temple
was built in the early Heian period by Kobo Daishi on his way to the Kanto region.
Before continuing on his way, he carved three sculptures of himself expressing the past, present, and future, from photinia wood.
One of these sculptures, "Mikaeri Kobo Daishi", is of the monk looking back, reluctant to part from someone.
It is still enshrined at Henjoin Temple as its principal object of worship. (The sculpture is normally not viewable by the public.
It is exhibited to the public on the 21st day of the third month of the lunar calendar.)
After praying in the main hall, try walking around the underground "kaidan", a sacred space where the monks take their vows. It is said that if you pray to Kobo Daishi in the darkness, you will be blessed. On the 21st of every month of the lunar calendar, the anniversary of the famed monk's death, stalls line up along the approach to the temple, and the grounds are crowded by worshippers.

Once an old hag came by the tea shop of an old man and asked the way to the temple Zenko-Ji in Nagano.
After a few days she was back, quite exhausted. When the old man gave her some sake to relax, she became very tired and fell asleep. In her sleep she revealed her true form - a tanuki. The old man wanted to catch her alive and went to get some help.
But by the time they returned the tanuki (and the old woman) were nowhere to be seen any more.
