History
The area of modern Itami is part of ancient Settsu Province and the hilly area is called the Itami plateau, between the Ina River and the Muko River have been continuously inhabited since the Japanese Paleolithic period. Stone tools, Jomon pottery and Yayoi pottery and settlement traces have been found in several areas within the city limits, and rice cultivation was done in the area from ancient times. The area also has many kofun burial mounds, including the Gogadzuka Kofun (御願塚古墳) and Kashiwagi Kofun, which were built during the Kofun period. The names 'Inano', 'Inabe' and 'Ina Prefecture', all of appear to be variants of 'Itami' appear in the Nihon Shoki and in waka poems from the Nara and Heian periods. In the northern part of the city, the Itami temple ruins date from between the Nara period to the Kamakura period.
The center of Itami became a wealthy castle town by the middle of Sengoku period with the construction of Arioka Castle, held by Araki Murashige ruled under Oda Nobunaga. After the uprising and defeat of Araki, the castle was torn down. During the Edo Period, the town was taken over by the Konoe family of court nobility, and the sake brewing industry prospered under its protection.
