Annaka Castle

notes

History

The castle was built by Annaka Tadamasa to defend against incursions by Takeda Shingen. Tadamasa's son capitulated to Takeda Shingen and joined forces with him remaining castellan of Annaka Castle. Annaka was killed at the Battle of Nagashino and the castle was abandoned. Due to it's strategic importance along the Nakasendo Road, the Annaka Province was established by the Tokugawa in 1614. Ii Naomasa's eldest son, Naokatsu, was made lord of the new Annaka domain. After the Ii, the lord of Annaka was always chosen from among those loyal to the Tokugawa because of that important location on the Nakasendo to collect taxes and monitor traffic. Even in the Edo Period there was very little fortification around the castle.
