A maritime and shipbuilding hub connecting Ise Bay's mouth to the Miya River system, it supported material transport for Ise Shrine. It passed from Kitabatake domain to Oda Ise rule; in the late Sengoku period, maritime merchants like the Kakuya family operated here and expanded into early-Edo vermillion-seal trading.
The relationship between political control of the port and autonomous organizations in the Sengoku period is not definitively documented in available sources.
