This location is the site of the battle of Kanagawa, the largest field battle to have taken place in the Kanto region. The battle was between Takigawa Kazumasu, lord of Ueno's Maebashi (or Mayabashi) Castle, and Hojo Ujikuni, lord of Musashi's Hachigata Castle, and Hojo Ujinao, lord of Odawara Castle. It took place between the 18th and 19th of June in the year 1582 at the Kanagawa River on the border between Musashi (Currently part of Tokyo, Saitama, and Kanagawa Prefecture) and Ueno (Currently Gunma Prefecture). The battle is also known as the "Battle of Kanakubo-hara" due to that the fierce battle was fought in and around Kanakubo and Bisado areas of Kamisato-town.
Here you can see the only castanet-playing haniwa (clay figurine) and dancing female haniwa (clay figurine) found in Japan! In addition to the many earthenware and stone tools on display, the life of Kiku Nishizaki, the first female seaplane pilot in Japan, who is a great historical figure of Kamisato and the main character in an NHK TV series, is also introduced.
This riverside course is blessed with rich nature, with a view of the three mountains of Jōmō, and has a diverse course layout with an OUT course for skill and an IN course for power. There are seasonal events such as a competition named after Kiku Nishizaki, the first female seaplane pilot in Japan and a great figure of Kamisato, and a gift-giving program where you can get your hands on Kamisato's local vegetables and crops. The most famous 17th hole is a 595-yd par 6, a very long course.
A cluster of spider lily grows on the banks of the Karasu River. With a backdrop of a clear blue sky, Mt. Haruna, one of the three mountains of Jōmō, and the Karasu River, named after the legend of Yamato Takeru, a ripe red carpet spreads out.
