Sobokuji Temple
〒502-0817 岐阜県岐阜市長良福光２４０３−１
A Myoshin-ji branch temple of the Rinzai school located in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, known for its connections to Oda Nobunaga and the Aso River Palace family. The site preserves the mausoleums of Oda Nobunaga and Nobutada, as well as ceiling panels from the main hall that were donated from the floorboards of Gifu Castle.
History
According to tradition, the temple was founded during the Kamakura period and relocated and renovated in 1511 by Saito Toshiyasu. Another theory suggests it was established in 1469 by Toki Narinaga and Saito Nagahiro, with the founding ceremony held in 1493. From 1567 onward, it served as the memorial temple for Oda Nobunaga, and following the Honno-ji Incident, it became the site of the mausoleums for Oda Nobunaga and Nobutada.
