The road passed by Yonekura Tango Mamoru

A terrible daimyo procession that goes quietly with the voice of "Lower, Down". Both the peasant who worked in the field and the rushing travelers lie down on the ground with "Hahahah!" During the Edo period, daimyo had to go back and forth between the territory and Edo to change work, so on large highways such as the Tokaido, scenes of this were often seen.
Konan Ward was not such a route, but there is still a story that a daimyo procession passed through the current Green Street shopping street in Kamiooka. Who and where did you go?
In fact, Green Street was once the road leading from the present Kanazawa Ward, called Kanesawa Michi. In addition, ahead of Kamiooka, toward Hodogaya, it was connected to a road called "Hodogaya Road".
Speaking of Hodogaya, Tokaido, yes. It seems that there was a daimyo who entered the Tokaido from Hodogaya through these "Kanesawa Road" and "Hodogaya Road" and headed to Edo.
By the way, what is the name? If you follow the Kanesawa Road all the way, you will reach the Shogunate Jinya in Machiya, Kanazawa-ku. Nearby, there was a daimyo residence in Tando on the west side of the current Kanazawa Hakkei Station. The Rokuura clan, Tango Mamoru Yonekura. It is a small daimyo of 12,000 stones. By the way, most of the area around Yokohama was called Tenryo, and the Shogunate ruled directly. The only daimyo was the Rokuura clan, so it is thought that this daimyo was said to have passed Green Street.
At that time, Kamiooka also had almost no houses. What kind of thoughts did the people of Konan greet the procession that goes dignifiedly on the single road in it?
By the way, at the end of the Edo period, foreign ships sometimes appeared at the tip of the Miura Peninsula and off the coast of Kanazawa. And there was a sudden rush in this area.
It is probable that the Shogunate set up a magistrate's office in Uraga and guarded it, and many samurai passed the Kanesawa Road and the Magagaya Road. The people of Konan Ward at that time would have been worried about something.

It is a story recorded in "Old Story of Hometown Konan 50 Episode".
