This was the sixth stop on my "Yakata Tour". No ruins remain and there is little information available. The site is now fields and homes.

History
The Machita-yakata, situated between the Sai River and an imposing mountain range, has a marker commemorating Masuzawa Nagajirō, a Bakamatsu / Meiji Period potter and sculptor whom the site was later associated with. But the site's earlier history is obscure.
