Yaguchi Yakata

History

Yaguchi-yakata was the fortified manor hall of the Yaguchi Clan. The Yaguchi were vassals of the Nishina through the Muromachi period and into the Sengoku period. Yaguchi-yakata would later become the kyokan (residential area paired with a mountaintop castle) of Azumi Nishiyama Castle.

Visit Notes

Nothing remains of the Yaguchi-yakata and the site is now farmsteads and rice paddies. This area is full of large homesteads surrounded by fields, making for some picturesque scenery. One home I went past which is on the site of the yakata or just adjacent to it, I saw, still had an outhouse by the road.
