Minamoto No Noriyori’s Grave (Brother of Minamoto No Yoritomo)

Minamoto No Noriyori was the younger brother of Minamoto No Yoritomo. Minamoto No Noriyori was commanded by Minamoto No Yoritomo to kill their mutual brother, Minamoto No Yoshitsune. However, Minamoto No Noriyori refused and their relationship worsened, and Minamoto No Noriyori was confined to Shuzenji. He then used his own blade to commit suicide at Hie Shrine.
