Takeshi Shigetada Hatakeyama
Last Updated June 30, 2023
Shigetada Hatakeyama and Asahi Ward
Shigetada Hatakeyama was a warlord who played an active part in the Kamakura era. He also worked hard when opening the Shogunate, and was very trusted by Yoritomo Minamoto.
He was born in Hatakeyama, Fukaya City, Saitama Prefecture (former Kawamoto Town) during his heyday, and had a mansion in Ranzan Town. It is said that Shigetada fought with Mr. Taira in Ichino Valley and Yashima with Yoshitsune Minamoto, and played an active part in the conquest of Oshu.
However, he was involved in the shogunate's power struggle, and on his way to Kamakura, he died near Tsurugamine. The locals have survived their personality and have been handed down more than 800 years later, so there are many historical sites related to Shigetada in Asahi Ward.
In Yakuoji, where Rokutsuzuka is located, a memorial service that survives Shigetada Hatakeyama is held on June 22 every year, with the dedication of Shigetada Kowa and Shigetada Bushi Odori.

Shigetada Hatakeyama |
To commemorate the 750th anniversary of Shigetada Hatakeyama's death, it was erected in June 1955 by volunteers from Tsurugamine and Hatakeyama (former Kawamotocho) in Fukaya City, Saitama Prefecture. The monument is located at a good view at the intersection where the tap road crosses the Atsugi Highway. |

| Neck mound | It is said that the neck of Shigetada was celebrated. It is located in a slightly higher place on the back of the ward office, and the signpost marked "Shuzuka" is a landmark. Currently, it is facing west, but it used to be facing south. On that side, there was a "neck washing well", which is said to have washed and cleaned the neck, but it is now gone. It is said that there was a hole about 1 meter in diameter on the riverbank, and water was springing up. |

| Palanquin mound | Shigetada Hatakeyama's inner room (the wife of a high-ranking person) "Kiku no Mae" was notified of the battle and rushed in. However, when I heard the death of Shigetada in this area, I was sad and committed suicide. It is said that the palanquins were buried in that place. In the past, there was a large mound surrounded by the water purification plant. It was moved out of the venue in 1955, and then in 1974 it was maintained to its current state. |
