History

Very little is known about this castle's history. Some records suppose that the Kanbayashi clan had been important landholders dating back to the 1300's. In the 1500's they were high ranking retainers of Akai Hideie and controlled much of the Kanbayashi Valley. Excavations on the site revealed advanced stone building foundations and many artifacts dating to the mid 1500s so it is assumed that the castle most flourished during this time period. in 1601, a Fujikake Jin'ya was established at the base of the mountain. Flattened areas, stone retaining walls and embankments have been uncovered throughout the neighborhood that retains some of the jin'ya town design even today.
