Uguisuchi-no-Miya

The Uguisuchi (鶯地宮, Ugusuichi-no-Miya) (princely house) is the second oldest collateral branch (Miyake) of the Yatanese Imperial Family created from the Usakura-no-Miya, allowed to provide a successor to the Imperial Throne should the main Imperial line fail to produce an heir.

The Uguisuchi-no-miya house was formed in 1984 by Prince Sanemitsu, first son of Prince Sanehide and Princess Tada. Prince Sanehide is the grandfather of Prince Sanehiko, the current head of the House. Princess Sanemitsu married Princess Seishi and the couple has one daughter, Princess Sanetoshi and a son, Prince Sanehiko.

On October 24, Honmyo I, Prince Sanehiko became the third head of the House.

The Uguisuchi-no-Miya palace is located in Kasugayama, Utsunomiya-no-Kuni and is still occupied by the House's members.
