Houtoku Ninomiya Shrine
日光市今市743
A shrine dedicated to Ninomiya Sontoku, known as the deity of learning and business management.
History
Ninomiya Sontoku successfully rebuilt the finances of many feudal domains and restored rural areas through his Houtoku Shihou (method of repaying virtue). In his later years, as a retainer of the shogunate, he devoted himself to the restoration of the Nikko Shinyo (Nikko Divine Domain) and passed away in this area. The shrine grounds feature a prefectural historical site marking his grave, which holds his entire remains, as well as a Treasure Hall housing his personal belongings.
