Kasoji-ji Temple
西尾市吉良町岡山山王山５９
A Rinzai Zen sect temple of the Myoshin-ji school located in Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture. It serves as the family temple (butsuji) for the Takaya Kira clan. The temple possesses numerous historical cultural assets, including works by Ike no Taiga and the clan's burial grounds.
History
The temple was founded by Kira Yoshisada when he revived the Kira clan as a hatamoto (low-ranking samurai vassal) to honor the memory of his father, Yoshiasu. As the family temple of the Takaya Kira clan, it contains the graves of six generations, from Yoshiasu to Yoshimasa. Additionally, Ike no Taiga visited frequently and left behind works such as fusuma (sliding door) paintings and wooden plaques.

What visitors say
Known as the family temple of the Kira clan, the grounds are compact but the paths leading to the gate and main hall are well-maintained. A parking lot is located directly in front of the entrance, making it convenient for visitors. However, the stone steps leading to the main hall have a steep gradient, so those with mobility issues should exercise caution.
