1979年(昭和54年)、篠脇山麓のこの辺り一帯で、道路や農地の整備工事を行っていたところ、鎌倉時代や室町時代の陶磁器等が多く発見されました。これをきっかけに発掘調査を進めていくと、建物の土台となる礎石、碗や壺などの陶磁器、箸や木簡などの木製品、石製品など、かつて住居があったことを示す痕跡が次々と確認されました。そして何よりも発掘調査に関わる人たちを驚かせたのは、風雅な池を配置した庭園の痕跡でした。出土品の時代や、住居跡と池を配した庭園などから、およそ800年前に、約320年間にわたってこの地を治めていた『東(とう)氏』の館跡の可能性が高まりました。1987年(昭和62年)に国の名勝に指定され、その後、『東氏館跡庭園(とうしやかたあとていえん)』として保存整備が進められて今日に至っています。

In 1979, numerous Kamakura period (1185-1333) and Muromachi period (1336-1573) pottery fragments as well as other artifacts were discovered in the area at the base of Mt. Shinowaki during road construction. A subsequent excavation found traces indicating that there was once a residence at that location. These traces include foundation stones forming the base of buildings, pottery such as bowls and jars, wooden objects such as chopsticks and wooden tablets, and stone artifacts. Most surprising were the traces of a garden with a pond. Based on the period of the artifacts and the presence of a residential site and garden with a pond, it was understood that these were the ruins of the manor of the Tō Clan, who governed this area for about 320 years, starting roughly 800 years ago.

In 1987 (Shōwa 62), it was designated a National Scenic Landmark. After that, it underwent preservation and maintenance as the Tō Clan Manor Ruins and Garden. It continues to be maintained and preserved to this day.

◦ Several artifacts are displayed in the Tōshi Memorial Museum within the Kokin Denju Field Museum complex.
