History
The area of Kurayoshi was part of ancient Hōki Province, and the Hōki Provincial Capital and Hōki Kokubun-ji were located in this area. The local Ogamo clan dominated the area in the Heian period and into the Kamakura period. In the Muromachi period, Tauchi Castle and Utsubukiyama Castle were built, and the Yamana clan dominated in the area. The current city of Kurayoshi developed from the jōkamachi of Utsubukiyama Castle. After the decline of the Yamana, the area was controlled by the Nanjo clan, who were based in what is now Yurihama.
