What are some notable historical facts of my town?

Ruin of Arioka castle. A part of stone wall still remains.


Araki Murashige, the lord of Settsu (region including a part of Kobe, Ashiya, Nishinomiya, Amagasaki, Itami, Ikeda, Takatsuki, Mino, Ibaragi city)
The most notable historical facts of my town is the Battle between Oda Nobunaga, one of the most famous and powerful samurai lord in Owari ( now called Gifu) and the local lord Araki Murashige. The stronghold of Araki was almost impregnable. Unfortunately, some of Araki’s retainers betrayed him, and the fort fell after about one year battle. Now, there are some ruins of castle near the JR station. But I like to take a walk around the traces of moat imagining battle.
