Genju-an
Located within the grounds of Chikatsuo Shrine, this is the location of the thatched hut in which the poet Matsuo Basho lived for four months during the Genroku Era (1688-1704).
Basho’s time here was recorded in his famous “Genju-an Diary.”
A monument and a stone engraved with a haiku were erected on the grounds of Chikatsuo Shrine, but the area surrounding them was renovated in 1991.
