Danchō

Danchō [団丁; だんちょう] is a city located in Shinkō Prefecture. It has an estimated population of 60,000. 
The area around Danchō has been settled since prehistoric times, and is believed to have originally been part of modern-day Seidai. Throughout the late Chisō and Nittori periods, the area of Danchō was divided into small districts controlled by various small clans and warlords, and was the site of numerous battles over territory during this time. After the Battle of Kannan in 1175, Danchō came under the control of the Shin along with many other small settlements, and became separated from modern-day Seidai in the early 1200s. In 1319, Prince Ashiro no Shin built his famous summer palace in Danchō, named Ōmei Castle, which still stands today. It was one of the first palaces not built for defense in Shinkō Prefecture, and instead was intended to be an expensive and luxurious retreat.
