Field Notes
Yokose-yakata is a yakata (fortified manor hall) site in Yasaka Township, Ômachi Municipality. The main bailey is now the site of a hall to Kannon, the Buddhist deity. To the north is a large creek which forms a natural moat. To the south and west the terrain is terraced in three bands. These spaces, possibly former baileys, now have rural homes in them. The entrance to the temple hall, which is now in a state of ruin, is to the west where there is a cleared space, perhaps used as carpark; there is a path through the bamboo grass to the back of this clearing which one can only find when one is on top of it. This path climbs the hillock to the flattened space with the Kannondō.
