The Kikkawa Clan Family Graveyard

The graveyard where successive lords sleep

Original Text

It's not a so-called tourist spot, but it's a perfect place to think about history and meditate quietly. Here, successive Iwakuni feudal lords and their families are sleeping. The place is right next to Autumn Leave Valley Park.

I remembered history.

Original Text

The graves of the clan, including Hiroie Yoshikawa, are lined up. I'm sorry for my private affairs, but the one I wanted to visit the most was Motoharu Yoshikawa's wife and Hiroie's mother, Nobunao Kumagai's daughter. Because he was not very beautiful, the Kumagai family thanked Motoharu, who married him. Nobunao Kumagai played a role in expanding the power of the Mori family, a military commander who was very strong in the battle, although he was a small gozoku. It is said that the former Haru and his wife were very close.

Quiet and sacred atmosphere

The Yoshikawa family graveyard in the city park "Yoshika Park" in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is said that there are 51 tombs of the head and clan from the first Hiroie of the Iwakuni Yoshikawa family to the 12th Tsunemoto, except for the 6th Tsunenaga. Right next door is Koyodani Park, which is very popular with beautiful autumn leaves, but this was a quiet and sacred place.
