History
In the Sengoku period (1467 – 1573) the Hino clan built Kagamiyama Castle on Mount Kagami (335 metres (1,099 ft)) in the Kurosaka area of Hino.[1] The small-scale castle consisted of only honmaru inner bailey and a ni-no-maru outer bailey. Packhorses were also kept at the castle. A jōkamachi castle town was built at the base of the mountain.[3] In 1632 the Tottori clan destroyed the castle, and used the site as an encampment. In the Edo period (1603 – 1868) the village of Neu became a shukuba post town. The commercial and administrative activities of the present-day Hino shifted to the Neu, where they remain today.[1]
