Seikyoji （Memorial Tower for Muneharu Shimizu and retainers)

The temple was first called 吉祥寺 Kichijo-Ji.
but they renamed themselves to "Seikyoji temple" in 1594.
清水宗治 Shimizu Masaharu is known as the master of Bitchu Kibi domain Takamatsu castle,
who lost against Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the siege of Takamatsu.
The memorial tower for him is located in here.

Shimizu Muneharu 清水宗治 (1537 – 1582)

also known as Shimizu Chōzaemon (清水 長左衛門),
was a military commander during the Sengoku period. He served the Mōri clan (one of the powerful clans in Bitchu Province) as a retainer to Kobayakawa Takakage and took part in the expedition to unify the Chūgoku region.
He was lord of Shimizu castle at Bitchu Province, and became the lord of the Bitchu Takamatsu Castle after he captured it in 1565.
His father was Shimizu Munenori.
Hashiba Hideyoshi (later Toyotomi Hideyoshi), a retainer of Oda Nobunaga, went on an expedition to the Chūgoku region to reunify Japan in 1582. Muneharu resisted Hideyoshi, locking himself in Bitchu Takamatsu Castle. Hideyoshi advised Muneharu to surrender on the condition that Muneharu give him Bitchu Province, but Muneharu refused.
Takamatsu Castle was flooded by Hideyoshi and nearly fell.
In June, during the flooding, Nobunaga died in the Incident at Honnōji in Kyoto.
Having heard about Nobunaga's death, Hideyoshi made peace overtures on the condition that Muneharu commit seppuku (suicide).
Shimizu's grave is at Seikyō-ji, Hikari, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

- quote - By Vicki L Beyer -
A fun and popular New Year's activity in Japan is going on a short pilgrimage to honor the seven lucky gods, a traditional symbol of fortune for the new year. New Year's weather is usually fine, lending itself to a little outdoor jaunt and these walks are relatively short -- usually taking only a few hours. The tradition began during the Edo Period (1603-1868) as a way to secure good fortune for the coming year by completing the pilgrimage early in the new year.
There are over 200 such pilgrimage courses across Japan. This year, I recommend one in Tsurumi, a northern ward of Yokohama. Much of the route travels along or near the old Tokkaido road, one of the historic roads linking Kyoto and old Edo (now Tokyo), and takes visitors to small obscure shrines and temples as well as a major religious center. This is an area off the beaten track for foreigners, but easy, accessible, and historic. The walk can be completed in less than three hours, although you may want to devote the entire day to give yourself time to stop and enjoy other sights along the way. I've prepared a map to help.
Most pilgrimages offer pilgrims the opportunity to acquire a memento of their journey. For this pilgrimage, from Jan 4 through Jan 12, 2019 (9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), you can purchase a printed sheet at your first stop for the modest investment of 100 yen. At each of the seven destinations, there will be a special stamp that you then stamp across the printed name of that shrine or temple, evidence that you have been there (no additional charge). Don't worry that it's in Japanese -- an attendant or your fellow pilgrims will help you stamp over the correct name at each location.
Tsurumi sits between the old Tokaido post towns of Kawasaki and Kanagawa.

The Watarase Keikoku Railway runs between Kiryu in Gunma and Nikko in Tochigi.
The 44.1-kilometer-long line follows the lush Watarase Valley
and provides striking riverside views over the 80-minute ride.
The journey is beautiful in all seasons, but the colorful foliage in autumn is particularly impressive.
The variation in altitude throughout the trip means you will see a range of colors throughout the ride.
