In 1572, another of Shingen’s generals, Inagaki Nobuyasu, replaced Yamagata. The castle withstood an attack by the Tokugawa clan in 1582.

  • Tanaka Castle dates to 1537 the Sengoku period, when it was built by the Isshiki clan as an outlying fortification to protect the western approach to the headquarters of the Imagawa clan at Sunpu. It fell to the forces of Takeda Shingen in 1570 during his invasion of Suruga. Shingen assigned the castle to his general Yamagata Masakage. In 1572, another of Shingen’s generals, Inagaki Nobuyasu, replaced Yamagata. The castle withstood an attack by the Tokugawa clan in 1582. Following the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, the castle as assigned to Sakai Tadatoshi, who had it completely rebuilt. The castle has an unusual circular layout with four concentric moats, which surrounded a small, 2-story donjon. Subsequently, as headquarters for Tanaka Domain, it changed hands many times during the early Edo period before coming under the control of a branch of the Honda clan in 1730. Tokugawa Ieyasu and subsequent shogun used the castle as an occasional base for falconry expeditions, and it was at Tanaka Castle that Tokugawa Ieyasu is alleged to have eaten tempura, just before his death. During the Bakumatsu period, in 1868 the Honda were reassigned to the newly created Nagao Domain in Awa Province in order to make way for an expanded Shizuoka Domain to be ruled by the ex-Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu. Tanaka Domain was assigned to one of his hatamoto, but was pulled down in 1872, following the Meiji Restoration. The current structures include remnants of the moats and stonework, as well as a large restored "yagura", reconstructed in 1992 to serve as a local history museum.
