Since Konodai was also the border of Shimosa and Musashi, it was a place where major warfare occurred frequently, such as [the First Konodai Joint Battle] and [the Second Konodai Joint Battle]. Particularly in [the Second Konodai Joint Battle], the fight between Hojo and Chiba allied army, and Satomi, Outa and Sakai allied army became a fierce battle. Satomi won the first battle but then they suffered a great defeat.
Because of this serious defeat, [Masaki Nobushige] died, Satomi Yoshihiro also escapted to Awano. The power of Hojo and Satomi changed greatly. Since the serious defeat, Satomi Yoshitaka, Yoshihiro was suppressed in Awano Country.
After that, Konodai Castle was ruled by Mr. Hojo. Tensho 18 year (1590), when Kanto area became [Tokugawa Ieyasu]’s territory, Konodai Castle became abandoned. It is said that from the mountain, the town and castle of Edo can be seen.
[Satomi Park] is built on the current Konodai Castle ruins, and soil, moats and other things are left.
