Motojukushiro Yashiki

History
Following the death of Matsudaira Hirotada, Imagawa Yoshimoto exerted his control over Mikawa. He ordered his general, Fukushima Haruoki, to build and occupy the fort known as the Motojukushiro-yashiki in 1549. The fort, which was likely a fortified residence, lends its name to the locality, but otherwise no trace of it remains.
Visit Notes
Motojukushiro-yashiki is a fortified residence site in the Motojuku Township of Okazaki Municipality; no ruins remain. The name of the site implies it may have been an annex of nearby Motojuku Castle, or built to replace it.
Motojuku Station is nearby. There is a scale model of the old station house in front of the station. The old station house is architecturally interesting, and it's a pity that it was not preserved.
