History
In the 1300's one of the powerful clans of the area, Yanagishita built a fortified manor on this site. During the Edo Period this was the site of the Takamatsu Matsudaira clan's shimoyashiki residence. During the Meiji Period the park held a gunpowder magazine and in 1917 it was taken over by the Imperial Household. The lands were released to the Ministry of Education in 1949 and have been turned into a nature park since.
In the photos and at the park you'll see several different sections of earthen embankments. It is thought that the ones creating a U shape surrounded the actual home.
Visit Notes
Even if the ruins of the fortified manor are very few, it's a beautiful park to walk through in the middle of the city. It is interesting however that the embankments around here have survived through the Edo Period to end up protected in the Institute For Nature Study.
