Nagano Prefecture 下伊那郡Moats protected an earthen castle.
Matsuoka Castle Site, Ninohori01 ／ School building
The Shimoichida school building combines Western-style architecture with a karahafu gable and a balustraded second floor, and dates from 1888 (Meiji 21). The town's Tokinoeki museum records that the entrance, the school's face, was entrusted to the Kiso-born temple carpenter Sakata Kamekichi. The town designated it a cultural property in 1981.
02 ／ Fuhonsen
Buryoji No. 1 Tumulus, also called Akibato-no-tsuka, is a town-designated historic site: a round mound with a side-entrance stone chamber painted with red pigment. Excavations in the Meiji 30s (1897-1906) turned up weapons, horse gear and Sue ware, and among these grave goods one fuhonsen coin. The Tokinoeki museum records that its composition closely resembles that of the coins from the Asukaike site.
03 ／ Ichida persimmon
In the grounds of the Ise shrine in Shimoichida village, where Ise faith was strong, stood an old persimmon tree prized as good even grilled and called yakigaki. Kojima Reijun, a terakoya teacher who lived at the Ise residence, urged people to grow and eat the fruit, and the town records that grafting spread it through the village and beyond.
