The Temple in Kyoto Where the Souls of Shinsengumi Samurai Rest in Peace
Ойын-сауық
Today we are going to be taking you to 壬生寺 Mibu-dera, the temple related to the famous Shinsengumi. 壬生 Mibu is where the Shinsengumi was formed in 1863, and this temple was used as their military art training grounds. Today, there are graves of 11 members who belonged to the squad.
Although this temple is popular among Shinsengumi fans, it is rarely visited by most people. So if you’re tired of going to shrines or temples that are crowded with people, this place is a great option.

U need to watch hakouki the anime is about the Shengami and is pretty accurate
Nothing like traveling Kyoto with the Yamaguchis
My only knowledge of the Shinsengumi is from anime (specifically Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X) But to hear about the real life versions of them is even more fascinating! I know their a HUGE part of Samurai pop culture! Though I can't remember what they did or who they fought ^^; Maybe do a video on them if you haven't already, Shogo? ;3 This was really cool!

You guys should see "Hakuoki".
I know it's weird but would you be able to make a video about the members of shinsengumi and their roles in history. I know Gintama is just a parody but it honestly makes me look into the real life ppl mentioned. Thanks for the video
I really enjoy this series! I particularly laughed when Hinata was crunching the gravel near the gravesites, the joy of making noise with your feet must be a universal kid experience. Your family is so sweet, and even through a video, very gracious hosts!
One "hidden gem" I would LOVE you to find in Kyoto...I have heard that there is a "sashimono-shi" in Kyoto that makes very fine wooden items for TEA CEREMONIES that might interest you and your subscribers. There is MUCH interesting tradition in their disciplines that could be spoken of. Great video with your beautiful family. Arigatou gozaimasu! /deep bow
My knowledge of the Shinsengumi like most westerners came from anime like Kenshin and Peacemaker Kurogane. That was years ago now and from that time I had become very interested in learning their history, and that of the era they were from. Seeing you cover it as well has helped me learn more too! Love this!

Mines from Gintama!
I gotta say a lot of family vlog people really try to control their children’s behavior in videos, so I really respect how you guys let harumi be herself and just enjoy the temple at her own pace.
I used to live five minutes from Mibu-dera when i lived in Kyoto. It really is one of the worlds most beautiful towns! Also there never used to be a very large crowds, strangely enough. I thought the temple would be more popular for history aficionados! Love your channel and keep up the great work!
Yes, I had a good time visiting Mibu-dera too! Seeing the place is a must for Shinsengumi history fan. I was also surprised by the kindergarten inside the temple, with so many cute kids there. The movie "When the Last Sword Is Drawn" (壬生義士伝) inspired me to be interested in the story of Shinsengumi. Thanks for sharing your family's visit of the place!
Nel periodo in cui ho abitato a Kyoto, 35 anni fa , Mibu dera era in ristrutturazione. Questo bel giardino non esisteva ancora ma lo visitai più volte per la tranquillità e per la collinetta formata da migliaia di statue di Jizo bosatsu. Grazie per il bel ricordo!
Wow, the location where the shinsengumi started! That's definetly going on my list if I ever get the money together for a trip. And congratulations for 71.000 subscribers in such a short amount !
the wolves of mibu!!! i saw the taiga drama years ago, it was entertaining. also your daughter is absolutely adorable!
Oh wow I was just there this afternoon! Wished I could have bumped into you XD
hi... i am a big fan of shinsengumi also... love the brotherhood and the spirit of a warrior... loyalty and courage... japanese samurai are always be among the top elite of warriors on world history... love from the philippines.. hope to visit the mibu temple, yasakuni shrine someday.. take care always my friend...
Please leave a bottle of mayonnaise for the soul of Hijikata San!

What a beautiful place! Thanks for the virtual guided tour! I'll definitely be visiting Mibu Temple the next time my wife and I will be in Kyoto.
Kondō Isami himself was quite a funny fellow, who often entertained other with party tricks. His favourite: To put his whole fist in his mouth! Hijikata Toshizō on the other hand....
I love how fascinated Hinata is with gravel haha 😆
Well that’s precious. You and your family are adorable. Glad you made a video of all of you together.
Also Kondo Isami is one my favorite Samurai of all time . thank you for the great content .
I’m currently watching though your video’s and loving them and just wanted to say it’s so cool seeing you take you family out on these trips to.
What a wholesome adorable family
Another wonderful video, yay!
I loved it! It's different from your usual content and very interesting.
I’ve only started watching your channel recently! Love your stuff. Does Harumi speak English? She seems to understand your English well but I haven’t heard her speak. Was just curious. Cute family. :)
Thank you so much for this video! I'm actually wrighting my bachelor thesis about Shinsengumi so every piece of information about them is very valuable for me :)
Love the videos, I hope you guys are ok and safe. The earthquake you guys had is scary
I like how Harubi says hmmm ahhh hmmm heeee iiiiii aaaaa ooeehhh hmmm hmmm aaahh hmmhmm ooof.. NANI

WHAAAT! I found this temple randomly when i was exploring Kyoto and i had NO IDEA it was related to the Shinsengumi.
Awesome! I want to go there someday because like many others I've gotten interested in the Shinsengumi through anime. Some people drew Hakuouki characters on the ema lol
Love your content!
Mibudera is such a a neat temple. One of my favorite little trips was to take an early train to Kameoka, ride the Sagano Scenic Railway through the Hozukyo gorge back to Arashiyama Torokko station, walk through the bamboo forest down to the Arashiyama station for the Keifuku Randen and then ride it to the end at Shijo Omiya and walk down to Mibudera. There's a really good confection shop nearby that sells super tasty warabimochi.
Awesome video, would love to visit someday
Mini eh? I had heard the Shinsengumi were the wolves of Mibu! I wonder if Hijikata-San did ever find the Ainu Gold🤔
Very interesting travel destination besides Asakusa temple and Kiyomizu-dera. Best wishes for your goal in 2022 (100k subscribers). Warm greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia.
Shogo: "So if you press that button, it plays the song for you." Hinata: unimpressed Me: "Here!! Here!! Let me press the button!!!"
I love Kyoto Song 😅. That Marutake Ebisuni oshi oi ke yome san rokkau tako nishi ki ............😍❤️🔥
at 2:51: Shogo: "please god, make my youtube channels have 1M subscribers"
Could you make a special video just about the Shinsengumi? That would be cool!
Im definitely so schooled. When I do visit Kyoto, most of your videos will be our guide like an audio visual tour 😂
I was there in 2002. It looks cooler now especially with all the English translations. My Japanese friend was not into his own history so he would wash over the translations.
I would love to visit this place but I dont think that will ever happen so its great to see this video.
Where is the grave of Mr. Hajime Saitô? The wolf of Mibu.
Very interesting
Oh cool cool
Could you do a video about the Yakuza?

please visit another shinsengumi sites! near Mibudera, there is Yagi residence and Maekawa house. Related to Shinsengumi
Nice
Awesome videos Shogo. I really want to know why statues at temples/shrines wear cloth bibs?
1:17 we all think the same here
I actually went there to collect Zoro‘s stamp for the one piece event in Kyoto. Didn’t know shisengumi at that time, because I haven’t watched Gintama then. 😁
Remembering their tragic death. I hope they rest in peace...
I am not allowed to worship other gods, but I served them to respect and having my wish come true🙏❤😊😇
The original name of the Shinsengumi is the Mibu-roshi-gumi. The Mibu temple is the reason why people referred to the Shinsengumi as the wolves of Mibu. Or Miburo Okami.
I like that
Twenty years ago, I visited the Yagi estate in Mibu. I saw the room where Serizawa Kamo died.
Tennen Rishin-ryū video is coming up next !!
got interested because of anime hakuouki 💕 i hope to visit it someday
🙋🏻♂️ Shogo? At 3:37, what do the hanging colors represent outside of the main hall please? Arrigato zai-geh-mas.
I have to come back there...can you make a video of the actual place where the Ikedaya incident happened?

I'm sorry for invading your comment section again, I think I contaminaited all your Shinsengumi videos with my existence already, but I again have a question that may sound stupid. One person I trusted in the past said that you cannot visit Okita's grave without permission before because many people stole some small stones from it. I don't remember the details, where is it exactly located or if the story is true. Do you have ay more info about it? I'm really sorry for asking a lot of questions again.
Did Shogo purify himself off screen before going in?
How much of the exhibits inside the museum had english translations/explanations?
I heard there was an earthquake near Tokyo I hope it won't reach Kyoto. Hope you are safe
Shogo san, can you talk about Rakugo? I am trying to be a comedian and i'm fascinated with Rakugo ever since I heard the bit from Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and rakugo artists from Detective Conan
