Seiryuji Temple, established by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1581, is dedicated to the memory of his eldest son, Nobuyasu. Located on the ridge of the former Futamata Castle site, the temple features Nobuyasu's memorial tablet in the main hall and a dedicated mausoleum on the grounds. Visitors can also see a restored well tower, a remnant of the Futamata Castle's water defense. The temple offers a serene atmosphere with historical significance, including a tangerine tree said to have been planted by Ieyasu. It's a peaceful retreat for history enthusiasts and those seeking a quiet temple experience, easily accessible from Futamata Hommachi Station.
