The Yasunaga Bank is a testament to the efforts that were made to survive, how to protect lives from floods, and secure productivity from the fields. For this reason, (Akiba Shrine) is enshrined in a small square on the bank, and (Toenji Temple) was built facing the bank. ``Annaga Dote'' has been passed down from generation to generation as a sacred land due to its spiritual powers. During the Keicho and Genna periods, the Kamei clan, the lord of Kano Castle, renovated the left bank of the Chiyo River in Furumi and developed a new rice field (the place name was Oide), but the Yasunaga Dote was never demolished and still retains its vestiges. I'm leaving it. The approximately 1km long embankment is a popular walking path for locals to take their dogs. Along the banks, hundreds of year-old cypress trees gently block the sun's rays, and the air is always cool and dark, giving the area a truly historical atmosphere. The Anaga Bank is located in an ancient swamp in Inaba Takakusa District, and given that a river (near the confluence of the Chiyo River and the Nosaka River) flows nearby, it must have attracted many fish and wild birds that peck at it. It is said that in the Takakusa swamp there was a group called Totoribe, whose job was to catch birds, and this is where the name of Tottori Prefecture was derived. In addition, this area west of the Chiyo River flourished during the Sengoku period, under the control of the Inaba Shugo Yamana clan at Tenjinyama Castle in Fuse. During the Edo period, it was under the management of the Ikeda family as a hunting ground.

Most of the historical landscapes of Japanese cities are from the early modern period (Edo period), and you can only see traces of medieval urban landscapes in the narrow alleys, but this is amazing. The atmosphere of the Middle Ages remains without any confusion. It's seriously impossible. You can time travel.

It's just a bank, but it's full of trees and has a quaint feel.
