Throughout the Edo period, Kubota Castle, located in the prefecture of Akita (northern Japan), was home to the Satake clan, daimyo of Kubota Domain, rulers of northern Dewa Province. Reassigned to Dewa Province from the clan’s ancestral territories by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1602, Satake Yoshinobu immediately started the construction of the Kubota Castle and it is only in August 1604, two years later that the Castle and its keep was finished.

Thanks to its wealthy lands and prosperous farmers, the small city around the castle started to grow year after year and what used to be known in the past as the Kubota Castle Town is now, Akita city, the administrative center of Akita prefecture.
