I think it was the Wachi clan who had some territory and a the mountaintop castle here. They actually sided with Nobunaga but he told them to destroy the castle. They insisted it wasn’t a castle but a family gravesite. … with koguchi and horikiri :) Nobunaga got pissed off and sent his key Tanba ass

History

I think it was the Wachi clan who had some territory and a the mountaintop castle here. They actually sided with Nobunaga but he told them to destroy the castle. They insisted it wasn’t a castle but a family gravesite. … with koguchi and horikiri :) Nobunaga got pissed off and sent his key Tanba assassin Akechi Mitsuhide in to destroy them, which he did of course. Thereafter the jin’ya was setup and the same family ruled all the way to the end of the Edo Period. Pretty rare, I might say. Supposedly they also maintained the yamajiro as a tsume-no-shiro even if they technically were not supposed to throughout.
