Takuma's palace who lived in Nagatani

The Kamakura Shogunate was overlooked, and the Muromachi Shogunate was newly established in Kyoto, but in Kamakura there was a government office called Kamakura Prefecture to dominate the ten eastern countries.
And the chief officer there is Kokata Kamakura, and the people who corresponded to the lineage of Mr. Ashikaga, a general, has been in that position for generations.
However, in fact, Mr. Uesugi, the minister of Kokata Kamakura, had the real power to dominate the eastern country for his job called Kanto territory.
As the Muromachi period progressed, Mr. Uesugi was divided into four houses and struggled with power.
The four are Mr. Uesugi, who is different from Yamauchi, Inukake, Oogiya, and Takuma, taking the names of his own bases in Kamakura.
Among them, Mr. Takuma Uesugi seems to have been based in Nagatani for some time, and a book written at the end of the Edo period stated that a descendant of Mr. Takuma Uesugi, a descendant of Mr. Takuma, It is written that a castle was built in the land.
It is not exactly where the castle built by Takuma Uesugi was.
However, the fact that the place name Iyo Tonone remains near Nagano Elementary School Shibori means that the residence of the lord of the country was called Iyo, so the residence of Iyo's lord was called Iyo. It is said that there is.
In addition, around the temples such as Nagatani Tenman-gu Shrine and Sadasho-in Temple, there are traces of moats, and on the small hills behind them, there were lands that seemed to have been artificially cut and flattened.
Therefore, it is thought that this area is a castle site built by a warlord related to Mr. Takuma Uesugi.
Later, during the Warring States period, Takuma Kamibayashi began to serve Odawara Hojo, but since it was a high-class family, Gohojo was different from ordinary vassal, and was named after the house hall. I was calling it.
After Odawara Hojo's fall, Noritomi Takuma Uesugi started the battle of Sekigahara as the flagship of Ieyasu Tokugawa and then moved to Hodogaya.
At present, the area around the peaceful Kaminagaya may have been a fussy village where warriors hang out and loud voices resonated.
