Today the site is occupied by a small local history museum. Unfortunately, there are no visible above-ground remains of the former yashiki. However, the museum is worth a stop on the way to Kami Akasaka Castle. Staff can provide maps, local information, and directions to the nearby castle ruins.
History
The Kusunoki Yakata (楠木館) was the residence of Kusunoki Masashige, located at the edge of the valley between Kami Akasaka Castle and Shimo Akasaka Castle. It was a fortified yashiki with surrounding moats and earthen embankments, serving as the family’s home and base. Archaeological excavations uncovered traces of the moat, though they have since been reburied.
Nearby is the Well of Kusunoki’s First Bath Water (楠公産湯の井戸), said to be the source of water used when Masashige was born (1294). It is currently closed to the public due to the dilapidated state of the wooden structure around it.
Together with trips to Shimo Akasaka Castle and Kami Akasaka Castle, the site reminds us that Kusunoki was not just another warlord out on a campaign but also a local leader, fighting on his home ground to defend the lands of family and friends.
Field Notes
Today the site is occupied by a small local history museum. Unfortunately, there are no visible above-ground remains of the former yashiki. However, the museum is worth a stop on the way to Kami Akasaka Castle. Staff can provide maps, local information, and directions to the nearby castle ruins.
