History
Osadajō was the moated residence of the Osada Clan who were vassals of the Ikeda Clan. The castellan was Osada Genshirō. Osadajō was roughly 70m² and surrounded by a wet moat which partially remains to this day. At the eastern edge of Eifukuji, a temple in the north of Osada village, are the remains of earthen embankments which are thought to have walled in the settlement which surrounded Osadajō. This implies Osadajō had a developed jōkamura (castle village) surrounding it with extra layers of defence.
Visit Notes
The remains of Osadajō in the village of Osada consist of the remnants of a mizubori (water moat) lined with stone blocks. Dorui (earthen ramparts) located at a temple on the edge of the village are thought to have been used as a wall to protect the village.
