Tanimura

Japanese: 谷村 - やむら

A castle town in Tsuru County, Kai Province. It is located in the Katsura River basin, in the center of Tsuru City, Yamanashi Prefecture. According to the Katsuyamaki, in 1532, Oyamada Nobuari built a mansion in Yamura, and the Yamura mansion became the base of control of the county for three generations of the Oyamada clan. In 1582, the Oyamada clan was executed by order of Oda Nobunaga, and after that, the area was ruled by the Torii and Kato clans, and in 1593, Asano Ujishige entered the area. Construction of Yamura Castle, repairs to the subordinate castle Katsuyama Castle, and a general land survey of the county were carried out. At that time, Yamura was divided into two villages, Kamitani and Shitani. After the Battle of Sekigahara in 1601, Torii Narutsugu entered the area, and in 1632, Narutsugu's son Tadafusa was stripped of his title along with Tokugawa Tadanaga, and in 1633, Akimoto Yasutomo was given 18,000 koku in Tsuru County, and the Yamura Domain was established. During the Akimoto clan's reign, the castle town was developed, and Shinmachi, Hayamamachi, Kamimachi, Kamitenjinmachi, Shimotenjinmachi, Fukuromachi, Uratenjinmachi, Nakamachi, Shimomachi, and Yokomachi were formed along the Fuji Road from Kamitani Village to Shimotan Village. In addition, flood control was improved, such as the construction of the Tokaichiba irrigation channel, and new developments and the promotion of industry, such as silk textile production, were carried out. Tanimura became known as Gunnaijima, and silk merchants became active. In 1704, the Akimoto clan was transferred to Kawagoe in Bushu, and Tsuru County became a Shogunate territory, where Tanimura Jinya was established. After the entire Kai Province became a Shogunate territory in 1724, it became a branch Jinya for the various magistrate offices of Kofu, Kamiiida, Isawa, and other areas, and continued to do so until the end of the Edo period. In 1875, Kamitani Village and Shitaya Village merged to form Tani Village, which was incorporated as a town in 1896. For a long time it was the center of Minamitsuru County, but in 1954 it merged with the surrounding villages to form Tsuru City.

甲斐国都留(つる)郡内の城下町。現山梨県都留市の中心部，桂川流域にある。《勝山記》によれば，1532年小山田信有により〈屋村〉に館が築かれており，以後谷村館は小山田氏三代の郡内(ぐんない)支配の拠点となった。1582年小山田氏は織田信長の命により誅され，以後鳥居氏・加藤氏の支配を経て，1593年には浅野氏重が入部。谷村城の普請，属城勝山城の修築，郡内領の総検地などが行われた。この時谷村は上谷・下谷の二村に分けられている。関ヶ原の戦後の1601年には鳥居成次が入部，1632年成次の子忠房が徳川忠長とともに改易されると，1633年秋元泰朝が都留郡１万8000石で入封し，谷村藩が成立した。秋元氏時代には城下町の整備が進み，上谷村から下谷村にかけて，富士道に沿って新町・早馬町・上町・上天神町・下天神町・袋町・裏天神町・中町・下町・横町が形成された。また用水路十日市場(とおかいちば)大堰の開削など治水の整備，新開，絹織物生産など殖産興業の推進等が行われ，谷村は郡内縞(ぐんないじま)で知られるようになり，また絹商人の活動が顕著となった。1704年秋元氏は武州川越へ転封となり，都留郡は幕府領となって谷村陣屋が置かれた。1724年甲斐一国が幕府領となって以後は，甲府，上飯田(かみいいだ)，石和(いさわ)などの各代官所の出張陣屋となり，幕末に至った。1875年上谷村・下谷村は合併して谷村となり，1896年町制を施行。長く南都留郡の中心であったが，1954年周辺の村を合併して都留市となった。
