Hitoyoshi han was an [[Edo period]] [[han|domain]] located in [[Higo province]] (modern-day [[Kumamoto prefecture]]) and ruled by the [[Sagara clan]], who had held the territory since it was granted them by [[Shogun]] [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]] in [[1198]]. Based at [[Hitoyoshi castle]], the domain's official ''[[kokudaka]]'' stood at 22,000 ''[[koku]]''.
The domain was located in the upper reaches of the Kumagawa, on a plains several ''[[ri]]'' in size, and was surrounded by mountains on all sides, making it easily defensible.
