Imai Jin'ya

The road adjacent to the temple is still referred to as "Jin'ya Road". I wouldn't probably have looked into Imai-jin'ya further except that I did find proof of its former existence in the form of a small, very new looking signpost marking its location.

History

The area used to be owned by Takatō-han but in 1691 it became part of a tenryō (Shogunal demesne) in the area with the reducation in territory of Takatō-han, and Imai-jin'ya was built at that time. Takatō-han was then made up of several tobichi (discontiguous territory). Imai-jin'ya was located in the tenryō which shares a border with Takatō-han (via Seba Village), Matsumoto-han, Owari-han and Takashima-han, so it was quite crowded in. Imai-jin'ya was basically a sort of minor ward office serving under Iijimaa-jin'ya (which may still stand so I'm looking into it). In 1713 the land was granted to the Mizuno Clan and Imai-jin'ya was abandoned.

Field Notes
