It was in 1728 that JINYA for Watanabe Family, hereditary daimyo, was located in Hakatayama.

It was a large-scale construction with JINYA facilities in Meiwa era(around 1770).JINYA was enclosed with a mud wall and had a moat in front of Ote-mon gate. Machiba(an urban area) seemed to have been formed along the Oguri Road.

There stands a monument of domain of Hakata dwelling site at the corner of the old JINYA.
