Overview

The site is located on the northern shore of Lake Jūsan, facing the Sea of Japan, almost in the center of the Tsugaru Peninsula in a forested valley near the Sannobō River. The site has a Shinto Shrine, the Goshogawara Hiyoshi Jinja which is a branch of the famous Hiyoshi Taisha in Ōtsu, Shiga. Under the pre-Meiji period amalgamation of Buddhism with Shintoism (Honji suijaku), the kami of the Hiyoshi Taisha was referred to as "Sannō Gongen", and the shrine has a tradition that a Buddhist temple called Aun-ji (阿吽寺) was once located nearby. The temple was destroyed by the Nanbu clan when they conquered his area in 1443, and had never been rebuilt, although its location had been preserved by the shrine as a sacred site.

Excavations thus far have revealed the foundation stones of several buildings preserved in very good condition, including the foundations of the South Gate, Hondō, Kairō, Oku-no-in, and several smaller structures. The age of these foundations range from the mid-14th century to the mid-15th century. During this period, this area was controlled by the Andō clan, who had close ties with the Ashikaga Shogunate and the layout is similar to contemporary temple layouts in Kyoto during the Nanboku-chō and Muromachi periods.

gollark: <@205756960249741312> Does CraftOS-PC have anything like the CCEmuX feature where it can render to TRoR (the terminal redirection over rednet protocol)? Me and Rph had an idea which would need some way to run emulated CC computers headlessly and stream their output/input to/from elsewhere somehow.
gollark: A friend of mine was suspended for "hacking the CCTV system" or something. Apparently the control thing for them was accessible on the network and had the default password set.
gollark: At my school I discovered that they had keyloggers in place and detected some words you typed. By typing some stereotypical terroristy keywords into an empty document (not saving it, obviously). I explained that I had done it randomly and not really expected anything to happen and they just complained about how I had apparently wasted 45 minutes of people's time as they dealt with this grave issue.
gollark: windows good, linux bad
gollark: It can come shipped with a recipe book, and a browser extension to replace "meat" with "EVIL" or something.
