Kudoyama Sanada-an (Zenmyosho-in)
真田庵（善名称院）
The place of exile where Sanada Masayuki and his son Yukimura lived after the Battle of Sekigahara. Kudoyama is full of Sanada culture, with the Sanada family's six-coin crest everywhere.
After the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Sanada Masayuki and his son Nobushige (Yukimura) were exiled to Kudoyama at the foot of Mount Koya. After about 14 years in seclusion, Yukimura came out to take part in the Siege of Osaka. Sanada-an (Zenmyō-shōin) was built on the site of Masayuki's residence. Inside are Masayuki's grave and a treasure documentation room, and the roof tiles bear the Sanada family's six-coin crest. Nearby are the Kudoyama Sanada Museum and the 'Sanada Ancient Tomb', said to be an escape tunnel. The temple is free to visit, though the documentation room charges admission. It is about a 10-minute walk from Nankai Kudoyama station and easily combined with Jison-in.
