As the name suggests, Shomyoji Temple once stood here and the Shinsengumi were stationed here, but in the great fire of December Meiji 12, almost everything burned down except the principal image, stone statues, gravestones, and the like. Due to the city redevelopment following this great fire, the temple moved to its current location (Funami-cho), but even there it suffered damage from great fires in Meiji 29 and Meiji 40. Today, as you can see in the photo, no trace of the temple remains.

Unfortunately, the original building no longer remains, and the site only has a historical marker and a monument, but I think it's an important place that fans will definitely want to visit.
