Takenouchi Kango Settlement is located in Takenouchi-cho, Tenri City, Nara Pref. “Kango” is a settlement surrounded by a moat for irrigation and defensive purposes. Bridges are used to go into and out of the settlement. Many “Kango” settlements are found in Nara Basin. The nearby town of Kayo is also known for the remains of wet moat that surrounded the settlement. Takenouchi Kango Settlement is said to have constructed in the Nanbokucho period (1336-1392). In the case of Takenouchi, bamboo trees were also planted around the settlement to hide its existence from outsiders. The settlement is in the mountain with an altitude of 100 m and it is the Kango settlement that is located at the highest place in Japan. At the present time, a part of wet moat remains and it is used as a reservoir. The moat together with the remains of stone works reminds us of the bygone days.
