The vice-commander of the Shinsengumi, Toshizou Hijikata, and the captain of the sixth unit of the Shinsengumi, Genzaburo Inoue, grew up in the city of Hino. There are five Shinsengumi-related museums located in Hino. Hinojuku Honjin (as pictured) is the only Honjin building of the Edo period left in Tokyo, and it was the home of Hikogorou Sato, a wholesale dealer at Hinojuku and the head of Hino Hongo, during the Bakumatsu period. The kenjutsu (sword art) dojo of Tennen Rishin-ryu, the place where Isami Kondo and Toshizou Hijikata met other comrades, who later also became Shisengumi members and practiced sword art together, was located at Hinojuku Honjin.
