History of Yagi Castle
Built by the Yonaito clan
The date of construction of Yagi Castle is widely known, but it is universally acknowledged that it was built during the Muromachi era when the Naito clan was in residence. Mr. Naito was the vice-governor of Tamba Province, his ancestors were samurai and samurai like Takauji Ashikaga, and he was entrusted with the management of Tanba Province, a key strategic point in Yagi.
Mr. Teikawa was appointed as Empress of Tanba Province, and Mr. Naito was appointed Deputy Governor of Tamba Province. During the Nato clan’s reign in Eikyo (1429-1441), Yagi Castle was completed and completed as a fort, and after this, Yagi Castle was demolished and became the residence of the Nato clan.
Yagi Castle during the war period
During the War of War, Yagi Castle was one of the most important military sites in the Tanba area. By the end of the 16th century, the castle fort was built and its full functional scale was expanded, and the Nato family was able to pass through the area and establish an alliance with the surrounding area.
In particular, the head of the Nato clan is Nato Guade (Nato Guade). The first Christian daimyo, a believer in Christianity, also opened in Yagi Castle. During Nato’s prosperous times, Yagi Castle was not only a military fortress, but also an important cultural center.
Mitsuhide Akechi conquers Tanba and falls of Yagi Castle
In 1575 (3rd year of Tensho), Nobunaga Akechi and Mitsuhide Akechi settled in Tamba Province. Part of Tanba’s work was conquered by Akechi Mitsuhide, who is currently stationed at Yagi Castle. In 1579 (Tensho 7), Yagi Castle fell due to a fierce battle.
During the attack on Yagi Castle, Akechi Mitsuhide took over the isolated Yagi Castle strategy, and conquered the surrounding castle ponds one by one. The Naito clan resisted strongly, but in the end it was a loss to Akechi Mitsuhide’s army. This is the conclusion of the Naito clan’s 400-year rule.
Fall of Yagi Castle
After the fall of Yagi Castle, Akechi Mitsuhide’s progress was completed, and the commander’s work was curtailed, making it the number one fortress in Tanba Province. However, in 1582 (10th year of Tensei), during the revolt of Honno-ji Temple, after the death of Akechi Mitsuhide, the position of Yagi-jo Castle began to decline.
During the time of Hideyoshi, the vassal, there are traces of the continuous construction of the castle grounds, and the comprehensive renovation of the high-class stone tomb. However, when the Edo period arrived, Yagi Castle was not rebuilt and Uyama Castle was used, and it was finally destroyed.
Yagi Castle’s structure
Chiropractic Bureau

In this area, we have provided a wide variety of defenses, invaded and invaded foreign invaders, and are famous for the masterpieces of mountain castle construction technology during the time of the empire.
Yagi Castle Construction Group Daichi branch owner Kawajika. Main outer forts include Honmaru, Ninomaru and Wasannomaru. The second part of the fort includes a multi-dimensional outer fort, and the outer fort also has a clear observation tower and a defense network, which is a joint structure with an organic defense network.
Honmaruwa Castle Tower
The main enclosure is Usanba, which is the central structure of Yagi Castle. Inside the main circle, the stone base of the castle tower is currently reserved, and the construction of the castle tower gate or fire tower is currently underway.

You can see the magnificent scenery of Yagi Town and the surrounding mountains from the top of the main Maru, which is also an important military observation function.

The stone burial mounds of Yagi Castle were scattered throughout the castle, and there were differences in the construction period and techniques.

However, while maintaining the belief in the modern progress of the Japanese colonialists, the state of modern stone masonry techniques and advanced stone processing level. This trivial stone tomb is an important historical review of Yagi Castle, and it has been confirmed that it was repaired and consolidated during the castle’s existence.
Defense construction work
The location of the castle tower’s basement was cleverly laid out, and the enemy’s invasion route was cleverly opened. Each part of the castle is divided into two independent defense units.
It is recommended that the main invasion route be repaired along the river. In this case, the castle river was dug into the depths of the mountain, and the enemy’s attack was effective. Nowadays, it is clearly visible, and the civil engineering technology is currently being developed.
Castle gate (small entrance) structure
Yagi Castle has many castle gates (small entrances), and each castle gate has its own carefully designed defense construction. The entrance is different from the castle gate, and the enemy can enter the narrow space, making it easier to attack with concentrated firepower.
Part of the castle gate is square, the stone wall is built around four walls, and the foundation is the result of the restoration during the time of the emperor. As this advanced defense technique is expressed, Yagi Castle is not a local mountain castle, and when the troupe fusion is completed, it will be an important strategic strategic point with cutting-edge science and technology.
