==History==
The Tatsuno area was part of ancient [[Harima Province]] and was an important location for traffic on the [[Izumo Kaidō]] highway running along the Ibo River, and was the location of [[Kinoyama Castle]], a stronghold of the [[Akamatsu clan]] in the [[Muromachi period]]. After [[Oda Nobunaga]] gained supremacy during the [[Sengoku period]], the area became the territory of the [[Ikeda clan]], who ruled [[Himeji Domain]] in the early [[Edo period]]. Following [[Ikeda Toshitaka]]'s death, his lands were divided by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] and [[Honda Masatomo]], was installed as ''[[daimyō]]'' of the newly created [[Tatsuno Domain]]. The town prospered as a [[jōkamachi|castle town]] and the domain passed through various rulers, ultimately coming under the rule of the [[Wakisaka clan]] beginning in 1672, lasting 200 years and 10 generations, after which came the [[Meiji Restoration]]. The castle town's area from the early modern period is extant today in what is now the "old Tatsuno-chō area,” which still contains samurai residences and white-plastered earthen storehouses, giving the city the moniker of"Little Kyoto of Harima".<ref name="地名 歴史 p. 238">地名 歴史 p. 238</ref>
