Tsutsui Junkei Rekishi Kouen (筒井順慶歴史公園)

Also known as: Tsutsui Junkei Tomb (筒井順慶墓), Gorin Touooi-dou (五輪塔覆堂)

Tsutsui Junkei was originally buried at Enjou Temple in Nara City, but was moved to this spot. The tomb and shrine grounds originally encompassed a much larger area. The shrine itself is a small structure, but well-designed. It holds the five-ring pagoda used at Junkei's memorial service as well as the stone lantern given to the shrine on the first anniversary of his death.
