The Shinsengumi were a collection of ronin
(masterless) Samurai who were selected to form a new elite corps in the city of
Kyoto, and to police the city during the final days of the Tokugawa Shogun
dynasty (right before the Meiji Restoration).
They lived here as their first strongpoint,
so Yagike is as known as their birthplace.
