Site of Minamoto no Yoriie’s Residence



This site is believed to be the location of Kawara-in, the residence of Minamoto no Tōru, one of the models for Hikaru Genji, the protagonist of The Tale of Genji. Kawara-in was a large estate, but today only a single hackberry tree remains, said to be a remnant of the estate's forest. Next to it, there is a plaque explaining the historical significance of the site.
