Inaka

Inaka lies in the Tsugaru country of northern Mutsu, where the Iwaki River flows through a broad plain towards the sea. The Tsugaru family united the region under its rule, and its first lord, Tamenobu, planned a new castle at Hirosaki. His son Nobuhira completed it in 1611, giving the domain a fortified seat and a castle town from which to govern its northern lands.
