Ōuchi-shi Yakata (大内氏館, Ōuchi-shi Yakata) was the fortified residence of the Ōuchi clan in Yamaguchi, Japan. Ōuchi-shi Yakata has been designated as a National Historic Sites along with Ryōun-ji temple.[1][2][3]
It was a base of the Ōuchi clan who were feudal lords and thrived during the Muromachi period to Sengoku period.[2] Its ruins have been protected as a nationally designated historic site.
In 1556, Ōuchi Yoshinaga built Kōnomine Castle as a supporting castle of Ōuchi-shi Yakata because Ōuchi-shi Yakata was considered unsuitable for withstanding a siege.[4][5] but Mōri Motonari`s army advanced to Suō Province, Ōuchi Yoshinaga left Ōuchi-shi Yakata and Kōnomine Castle without resistance.[6]
The castle was listed as one of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles in 2017.[7][8]
