A monument was erected on the site of Arako Castle, where Toshiie Maeda resided. Arako Castle was originally built during the Tenbun era by Toshiie's father, Toshimasa. It was a small castle with a moat, covering an area of approximately 68 meters east-west and 50 meters north-south, resembling a mansion.
Toshiie became the lord of Arako Castle in the 12th year of the Eiroku period (1569) and enshrined the Fuji Gongen as the protective deity of the castle. The Deities were "Princess Konohanasakuya no kami" and "Sugawara no Michizane", who is regarded as an ancestor of the Maeda family.`
