About
The Horigoe Palace site, also known as Horigoe Gosho, is an archaeological site in Izunokuni, Japan, featuring remnants of a 15th-century Muromachi-period residence linked to the Ashikaga clan. Designated a National Historic Site of Japan, the site is associated with significant events, such as the political upheavals following the Ashikaga Yoshinori's 1439 invasion of Kamakura and the subsequent power struggles in the Kantō region. Excavations revealed the foundations of a large palace structure and garden, with high-status ceramics imported from China, confirming its historical significance. This site reflects the political fragmentation and dual rulership in the Kantō region during the late Muromachi period.
