Fujikake Jin'ya

From Jcastle.info

This is private property and not much to see. There are some nice original maps from the end of the Edo Period that show what this jin'ya and town were like but almost nothing remains above ground.

History

Fujikake Nagakatsu was assigned to the administration of this remote valley in 1601 with 10,000 koku as the local governor. He built Fujikake Jin'ya at the base of the former Kanbayashi Castle. The Fujikake ruled these lands until the Meiji Period.

Flattened areas, stone retaining walls and embankments have been uncovered throughout the neighborhood that retains some of the jin'ya town design even today. Similar to Yamaga Jin'ya, Kanbayashi Castle may have been maintained as a tsume-no-shiro, in case of emergency.
