History

The Shiba Clan served the Ashikaga Shogunate as governors, including of Tôtōmi Province, and the Bue-yakata was built as the governor's residence near Yokochi Castle in the mid' 15th century. The Yokochi Clan served the Shiba loyally. However, the Imagawa Clan had also been governors of the province, and the two clans awkwardly shared authority until violence erupted during the Ōnin War. The Shiba were defeated in 1476 and the Bue-yakata was destroyed by Imagawa Yoshitada.

Field Notes

The Bue-yakata, or Shiba-yashiki, also called the Shiba-Bue-teitaku, was a medieval fortified residence attached to the Yokochi Castle complex, now referred to as the Kikugawa Jōkan Complex after the modern municipality of Kikugawa. There is a signpost for the castle and a signboard with a curt explanation about the site. It appears to have been situated between two creeks on the hillside which formed a natural defence. These are overgrown, however, and hard to delineate. The interior of the former compound is now wooded with some vegetable plots.
