Maeda Sokunenji (Maeda Castle Ruin)
This location is believed to be the origin of the Maeda clan. It houses the tomb of Maeda Kojuro, the former lord of Maeda Castle, along with the tombs of successive generations of the Maeda family and a monument dedicated to Maeda Village.
The gate's signboard bears the name "Baionji Temple," and the area is adorned with the Maeda family crest, a plum blossom pattern (known as the plum flower in a bowl).
Regarding Toshiie Maeda's origin, there are two theories: one suggests he was born at this Maeda Castle and moved to Arako Castle at the age of seven, while the other proposes that he was born and raised in Arako Castle. However, the authenticity of these theories remains uncertain.
