History

The Hirase-yakata was the fortified manor house of the Hirase Clan. It was paired with Hirasejō on a mountain across the river and plain which would offer a place to retreat to and defend from should the yakata come under attack.


Visit Notes

The Hirase-yakata, the fortified manor house of the Hirase Clan, is now the site of a shrine to Hachiman. This shrine is surrounded by a mallet golf course on all sides... which I hadn't seen before. In one corner of the shrine there is an embankment which I would like to believe to be some remnant of the fortifications surrounding the yakata, but I cannot confirm this.
