History

Hatadajō was built by the Sasaki-Rokkaku Clan or their vassals as a branch fortification of Kannonjijō. It was likely already abandoned or destroyed by the Azuchi Period.


Visit Notes

Ahead of the Ten’ichi-jinja was a signboard about Hatadajō which promised actual remains of the castle such as dorui (earthen ramparts). My finely hewn castle senses immediately directed me to the rear of the shrine where I found my quarry, all three foot or so of piled earth. It seems strange but these lumps in the earth represent a medieval fortification! The site is now a shrine.
