Mexico Street
The road that runs from below Otaki High School to Otaki Castle is called Mexico Street. When Honda Tadakatsu’s son, Tadatomo, was lord of Otaki Castle, a ship carrying Don Rodrigo and his party, bound from the Philippines for Mexico, was wrecked and washed ashore on the Iwada Coast in Onjuku. Don Rodrigo’s visit to meet Tadatomo is recorded in Nihon Kenbunroku. Cute tiles decorate the sidewalk along Mexico Street.
