Chōenji Temple
An independent temple. This temple was one of three where the Mito Tengu Party was held immediately after their surrender, housing 90 members of the group. Their treatment at the temple was generous, but after being handed over to the shogunate, they were confined in sixteen storage sheds in Funamachi (present-day Horai-cho, Tsuruga City), which had been used to store fertilizer like herring meal. There, they endured harsh treatment.
