Geocache Description:


There are several tentatives about the origin of the name Tobitakyu. Which theory do you believe?

  1. It was a paddy fields 'KYUdenchi' of the lord of the manor, Mr. Tobita around the 8th to 16th centuries.
  2. It changed as 悲田給(Hidenkyu)⇒飛田給(Hidenkyu)⇒飛田給(Tobitakyu), because it was a paddy field for Hiden-in (a facility for the poor and orphans) in Musashi Province.

飛田給(とびたきゅう)の名前の由来には諸説あります。どっちだと思う?

  1. 荘園制の時代(8-16世紀頃)飛田さんという荘園領主の「給田地」だったから
  2. 武蔵国の悲田院(貧しい人や孤児のための施設)の給田地だったことから、悲田給(ひでんきゅう)⇒飛田給(ひでんきゅう)⇒飛田給(とびたきゅう)と転じた
