Machida City Course (Let's take a stroll around The places associated with Shinsengumi !)
Memories of Shinsengumi in Machida City
KOJIMA Shikanosuke, the headman of Onoji-mura Village at the end of Edo period, became a disciple of Tennenrishin-ryu School the third leader KONDO Shusuke. KONDO Isami who succeeded to Shusuke, taught Kenjutsu at the training hall in KOJIMA Family's house. Shikanosuke took a pledge of brotherhood with KONDO Isami and SATO Hikogoro, headman of Hinoshuku, and supported Shinsengumi. So, many letters and articles concerned with Shinsengumi remain at KOJIMA Family.
