Omiyabo
Omiyabo was the most prestigious temple on the mountain as a separate temple that controlled Tenpyoji Temple on Mt. Sekidosan. However, in the early Meiji period (1868-1912), the temple was abolished along with the dissolution of Sekidosan due to the Haibutsu Kishaku (movement to abolish Buddhism). Since then, the site has been used as the Sekidosan branch of Koshiji Elementary School and for housing and rice paddies, but in 1990, an excavation survey was started to improve the historic site. As a result of the investigation, the remains of a building that had been rebuilt by Toshiie Maeda after the Sekidosan Battle in 1582 and had survived until the Meiji Era (1868-1912) were discovered.
The town has received government and prefectural subsidies since 1998 to recreate the historical space of Omiyabo, using the results of the excavation and historical documents as a reference, and has discovered the remains of buildings such as the shoin kitchen, banjo, washroom, Onarimon, kitchen gate, board fence, and Imperial Bridge, as well as the remains of the main hall, Shoseiden, and Shojoden, the remains of the Imperial Bridge. The restoration of the main hall, the Shoseiden ruins, the garden, and other structures was completed in November 2002.
