Gozan temples between Takeda Shrine and Kai-Zenkoji
The meaning of 'Gozan'
During the Southern Song Dynasty in China (1127–1279), there was a system of state sponsored temples commonly called the 'Five Mountain' system. 'Five Mountains' really meant five temples (temples were very often located on mountains.) It was the duty of these temples to pray for the protection and safety of the state.
Gozan System in Japan
In the late Kamakura Era (1185–1333) this system was adapted in Japan, notably in Kamakura and Kyoto. The Kamakura Gozan temples are Kencho-ji, Engaku-ji, Jufuku-ji, Jochi-ji and Jomyo-ji, ranked in order of importance. The Kyoto Gozan temples are Nanzenji, Tenryuji, Shokokuji, Kenninji, Tofukuji, and Manjuji, again in order of importance. These temples were under the patronage - and the control - of the ruling shogunate.
Kofu Gozan temples
In Kofu City, Lord Shingen Takeda, who was a Buddhist priest as well as a powerful Daimyo, chose five Rinzai Temples to be the Kofu Gozan. These temples were all located at the foot of the mountains to the North of Kofu, between Takeda's fortified residence (now the site of Takeda Shrine) and Kai-Zenkoji.
The selected temples were Chozen-ji, Toko-ji, Enko-in, Nojo-ji and Hosen-ji. Of these, Chozen-ji was the highest ranked of these temples, but I can't tell you the ranking of the others.
Historical walk
There is a walking or cycling trail named Inishie no michi which could perhaps be translated as 'Path of Antiquity' or 'Way of the Ancients'.
The trail starts from Kofu JR Station, and includes Takeda Shrine, all five Gozan Temples, and Takeda Shingen's grave (although his cremated remains are actually at Erin-ji in Koshu City.) There are small maps outside all the points of interest along the way to help keep pilgrims and explorers on track.

Tragedy for Kofu City
Sadly two of these temples, Chozen-ji and Nojo-ji, were burned to the ground in the 1945 air raid that killed 740 civilians and destroyed 80% of Kofu City. They were were rebuilt in the 1950s, but nothing could be done to restore the lost treasures they contained.

My personal favorites
Unfortunately I am hopeless at following maps, and I never made it to Hosen-ji. I'll try to go there next time I visit Kofu. Out of the remaining four temples, I was most impressed with Toko-ji.
I especially liked the dry garden there with the beautiful standing rocks. I also loved the open-sided 'room' with its scroll and flower arrangement, where visitors can rest and admire the garden. My second favorite was Chozen-ji, because I loved the view of two pagodas, one behind the other.
How about you?
If you have visited any of these temples, please share your thoughts about them!

In addition, vaginal lubrication is increased.
It increases blood flow, fights viruses and bacteria, which strengthens the immune system, increases the overall tone of the body.
It may work as well as the medication finasteride Proscar to treat BPH.
While Murphy has been seen play live in a T-shirt saying I heart speed, calling Viagra Boys drug-romanticizers is reductive.
If there are health problems, a man is recommended to take half of the tablet of American Viagra at a time.

All life is a continuous postponement of this moment, because the choice is so difficult.
The development of the Russian plan of war with the French Empire was affected by the hesitation of diplomats.
These medications also cause the dilating of blood vessels.

Why this medicine like to prescribe urologists and actively use ordinary men, let's see below.
If you have ED, talk to your doctor about Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and Stendra.
For example, a 2009 study found that saffron has a positive effect on sexual function, contributing to erection and increasing its duration in patients with erectile dysfunction even after a short intake for 10 days 8.
But the main reason is that the drugs enhance intercourse, whereas older couples generally evolve away from the old in-out toward hand massage, oral sex and vibrator play.

In the years since Viagra made its stunning debut as a blockbuster drug for ED, sildenafil has been studied as a treatment for an enormous range of medical conditions affecting both men and women, including stroke, pulmonary hypertension, altitude sickness, and menstrual cramps.
Because Xanax is associated with rapid induction of tolerance, it is generally a smart idea to initiate treatment with a very low dose and titrate up to a minimal effective dose.
Another very worthy benefit of maintaining good strong levels of free-form testosterone is that this hormone is a primary contributor to the healthy production of sperm.
The product begins to act 30 minutes after consumption.
But Wolfe is disappointed that Health Canada did not follow Britain s lead and forbid doctors from prescribing it to anyone who has suffered a recent heart attack or stroke.
