Sugaya Yakata (菅谷館, Sugaya Yakata) was a castle structure in Hiki, Saitama prefecture Japan. The site was designated a National Historic Site. It has been said that Sugaya yakata was originally Hatakeyama Shigetada`s fortified residence but until now, no relics from that period have been found in excavations.[1][2]
Sugaya Yakata is now only ruins with earthen walls and a dry moat. Saitama Prefectural Ranzan Historical Museum is on site.[3]
