History
The Kitabatake clan was descended from the Imperial Family and was appointed governors of Ise Domain (Mie Pref.) around 1336. Part of their domain included the most sacred Ise Shrine. Having been of noble birth, they enjoyed the finer things in life, and built a grand living quarters and administrative center at the foot of Mt. Kiri, with a castle at the top of the 570m high mountain. They lived there for around 200 years, until warlord Oda Nobunaga decided he wanted Ise for himself, and organized for his son, Nobukatsu, to marry the daughter of Lord Kitabatake. Nobukatsu later killed his father-in-law, imprisoned his grandfather-in -law and usurped Kitabatake power. Then he made the mistake of attempting to take neighboring domains, and failed miserably. His father, Oda Nobunaga did not like failure, in 1576 sent 20,000 samurai to capture the entire region. He started with an attack on the Kitabatake's castle, destroying the castle and the elegant structures below it. Only the beautiful gardens remain.
