This shrine is dedicated to the sad legend of Yojiro the Fox. One day, a fox appeared before Sir Satake Yoshinobu, who built Kubota Castle on Mt. Shinmei, which is currently Senshu Park. The fox said to him, “I would like you to give me a place to live as the construction of your castle has displaced me. If you grant me this wish, I am sure that I can be of service to you.” Sir Yoshinobu bestowed upon the fox a place near the tea garden and thereafter called him “Tea Garden Protector Yojiro.” Yojiro the Fox served admirably as a messenger, able to travel to Edo and back in only 6 days, but he fell into a trap set by other messengers who had lost their jobs and was killed. The spirit of Yojiro was enshrined in Yojiro Inari Shrine by Sir Yoshinobu, who lamented his regrettable death. Address 1-8 Senshu Park, Akita City URL Official website

This preserved tree, which tells the history of the rerouting of Asahikawa river, stands 8 meters tall. The age of the tree is estimated to be about 390 years. During town planning in 1631, lord Satake of the Kubota clan dug up Asahikawa river and designated the east side as the inner town and the west side as the outer town. Lord Satake then built a bank along the inner town's river and planted a row of pine trees. This area is called Takajomachi after the fact that Kubota clan's hawker lived here. This tree is referred to as the Taka no Matsu Pine Tree as the story goes that the hawks would sit at the top of the tree and look down on the castle town. About 430 meters up river (north) from this tree is a pine tree called Gagami no Matsu Pine Tree. These two pines are precious trees that tell the history of the area at the time.

The trees of Senshu Park come into view after walking about 10 minutes from Akita Station. Here you will find changing scenery reflecting the seasons and the ancient and honorable history of the 200,000-goku Akita Domain. Even today the ruins of the castle that stood during the Edo period continue exist, projecting itself onto the changing seasons and the elegance of the Japanese garden. The first lord of the Akita Domain, Satake Yoshinobu, was forced to relocate to Akita from Hitachi in 1602 after the Battle of Sekigahara. Here he built Kubota Castle the following year, making use of the natural elevation.The ruins of the castle now comprise Senshu Park. The castle was a low mountain castle with no tower and almost no stonewalls. The castle was surrounded by moat and earthwork. The water-filled moat now serves as a vestige of those early days. The Akita Domain continued for 12 generations and came to an end in 1869 with the return of the lands and people to the emperor. In the Meiji era, the grounds were transformed into a beautiful Japanese garden based on a design by landscape architect Nagaoka Yasuhei.
