Annaka 'Castle' Town (859 words)
Despite its apparent lowly status, Annaka was considered a strategically important castle town by the shogunate.
Annaka had been the site of a small castle in the Warring States period but was not awarded to any daimyo by the Tokugawa shoguns until after the siege of Osaka castle in 1615.
In effect, Annaka was at the point where a major highway broke through the mountain chain surrounding the Kanto plain with, at its center, the shogun's citadel of Edo.
