History
In 1622 Sengoku Tadamasa was relocated from Komorojō to Uedajō. His territory included this area, which in 1669 Sengoku Masākira built a jin'ya here to administer. The jin'ya was built upon the former kyokan (residence hall) area of Yazawa Castle (Sanada). This "sub-domain" was valued at 2,000 koku, later increased to 2,700 koku, and contained the villages of Yazawa, Shimosato, Akasaka, Urushido, Iwashimizu, Koida, Mori and part of Hayashino-gō (gō = township / collection of villages). This is a fertile area located to the east of the Kamikawa River. In 1706 Sengoku Clan was relocated to Izushijō, but the branch at the Sengoku-yakata remained in place and governed until the Meiji Restoration.
Field Notes
This site of an Edo period jin'ya or daikansho, a fortified administrative compound used to govern smaller territorial holdings, was formerly the kyokan (residential annex) attached to Yazawa Castle (Sanada). I was impressed by the ishigaki (stone-piled ramparts). These beautiful stone walls are the remains of the jin'ya. One platform of piled stone looks like it could've served as a turret foundation. Atop is a storehouse structure which has been "castellated" and has shachihoko (鯱) on the roof. I'm not sure this qualifies as a reconstruction but it looks great.
A gate remains from the time of the jin'ya, now on private property.
