Katata has the history which protected Rennyo, and is a religious town to Rennyo.
"Rennyo (蓮如) (1415-1499) was the 8th Monshu, or head-priest, of the Jōdo Shinshū sect
of Buddhism, and descendant of founder Shinran". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rennyo)
Enryaku-ji temple considered that Rennyo and his temple Hongan-ji (in Kyoto) the enemies
of the Buddha, and Enryaku-ji temple oppressed them. Hongan-ji  temple was destroyed and
he led the life as a fugitive.He stayed at  Honpuku-ji temple in Honkatata and waited for the
time of revival in 1467. Enryaku-ji temple attacked Katata with the large force in 1468
(it is called Katata Ozeme). He gave up making Katata into headquarters. It is because Katata
was close to Enryaku-ji temple.In April, 1471, he went to Echizen Yosizaki which was a still
more distant place from Kyoto. This is Senpuku-ji temple in Katata is a temple of Jodo
-Shinshu Otani sect.There is near Lake Biwa and the Dekejima lighthouse, and the channel
