The road that Tango Mamoru passed

A terrible daimyo procession that goes quietly with the voice of "below down, down." Both the peasants who were working in the stray and travelers rush ahead, fall down on the ground saying "Hahahaa" ... In the Edo period, the daimyo had to go back and forth between the territory and Edo in order to change their work, so on large roads such as the Tokaido, the sights were often seen.
Konan Ward was not such a highway, but there is still a story that the Daimyo line passed through the current Green Street shopping street in Kamiooka. Who went where and where did you go?
In fact, Green Street used to be called "Kanesawa Michi", a road leading from the current Kanazawa Ward. In addition, toward Hodogaya, ahead of Kamiooka, it was connected to a road called "Dogaya Road".
Speaking of Hodogaya, Tokaido, yes. It seems that there was a daimyo who entered the Tokaido from Hodogaya through these "Kanesawa Road" and "Dogaya Road".
By the way, what's the daimyo? 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 on Tando, west of the current Kanazawa Hakkei Station. Tango Mamoru Yonekura, the Rokuura clan. It is a small but powerful daimyo with 12,000 stones. By the way, most of the area around Yokohama was called Tenryo and the Shogunate directly governed. It is the only Rokuura clan who had a daimyo, so it is probable that it was this daimyo who was said to have passed Green Street.
At that time, Kamiooka was also a side-by-side rice field. What kind of thoughts did the people of Konan welcome to the procession that goes dignifiedly on the one-way?
By the way, at the end of the Edo period, foreign ships came to occasionally appear at the tip of the Miura Peninsula and off Kanazawa. Thus, this area suddenly became busy.
The Shogunate set up a magistrate's office in Uraga and guarded it, and it is probable that many murai passed the Kanesawa Road and the Sogaya Road. The people of Konan Ward at that time would have been worried about something.
