The grave of Takaie Shishido, who died in the first year of Bunroku, and that of his second wife, Shigetsugu Iwami.

Takaie, the grandson of Shishido Gengen, became head of the family at a young age due to the early death of his father Motoie. He married Goryu no Tsubone, the eldest daughter of Mori Motonari, and thereafter served Motonari, Takamoto and Terumoto as a senior vassal of the Mori clan, supporting the Mori clan as the fourth arrow after Takamoto, Motoharu and Takakage. He died at the age of 76 in 1592 (the first year of Bunroku), and his posthumous name was "Tenso Kakuryu Daikoji." His grave is located in the mountains, about 2km from Goryu Castle, at the site of Tenso-ji Temple. The gravestone standing next to him is not that of Motonari's eldest daughter Goryu no Tsubone, but that of Takaie's second wife, Iwami Shigetsugu's older sister.
