*''Japanese'': 蓮光寺 ''(renkou-ji)''
Renkô-ji is a temple in the city of [[Tosashimizu]], in [[Kochi prefecture|Kôchi prefecture]].
The Hamada family of [[village headmen]] are buried there, along with some number of [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan]] castaways who became shipwrecked in Tosashimizu harbor in [[1705]]. They had departed Ryûkyû the previous year on a [[tribute]] mission, but got caught in a storm and castaway to Shimizu harbor in [[Tosa province]]. They were aided by village headman Hamada Goemon, but died before they were able to return to Ryûkyû, and so were buried alongside the Hamada family at Renkô-ji.
