Shachinomi Jin'ya

History

Shachinomi-jin'ya was founded by hatamoto (bannerman) Suzuki Shigeuji in 1625 to replace Shachinomijō. His domain was valued at 1,120 koku in the Edo period. In 1653, Suzuki Shigeo built Yūgenji as the clan's bodaiji (clan temple) at the foot of the hill beside the jin'ya. Following reigns by Suzuki Shigetoshi and Suzuki Shigeyuki, the Suzuki Clan were briefly without an heir in 1693, but then Suzuki Masafusa took over, and the clan was in place here until the Meiji period. From Lord Masafusa's time the clan's territory was reduced to a paltry 300 koku, encompassing three villages, of which Shachinomi Village was one. The Suzuki patriarchs carried the patronymic middle name 'Tomonosuke'.

Visit Notes

Shachinomi-jin'ya is a hillside jin'ya site in Kōkai Township, Toyota Municipality. Several sites in the area are called 'Shachinomi', such as the Shachinomi-Jurinna (Jōmon period) ruins, so it may be an old name for the area. The jin'ya has several baileys carved into the hillside overlooking the valley. Ishigaki (stone-piled retaining walls) supports these terraces. The uppermost terrace, probably the jin'ya's main bailey, is now a private residence.
