Group of pioneers during the last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate
The first group of pioneers came to Hokkaido during the last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate, before the Hokkaido Development Commission was launched. In 1800, Hachioji Sennin Doshin (1,000 junior officials from Hachioji) migrated from Bushu Hachioji to Hokkaido, which was called Ezochi (Ezo region) at that time.
The Tokugawa Shogunate reinforced defensive preparations against Russia through direct rule of Ezochi. Hanzaemon Hara, the head of Hachioji Sennin Doshin, heard about it and moved to Ezochi, accompanied by his younger brother, Shinsuke, and about 100 young men of the Doshin. Hanzaemon settled at Shiranuka (current Shiranuka Town) and Shinsuke at Yufutsu (current Tomakomai City). Based on this connection, Tomakomai and Hachioji cities have now established a sister city relationship.
Hachioji Sennin Doshin, surviving retainers of the Koshu Takeda family, had guarded Koshu Road after they were relocated from Koshu to the Hachioji area during the Edo period.
During the Edo period farmers were generally prohibited to possess arms – the system called heino bunri (literally means separation of samurai and farmers) – but Hachioji Sennin Doshin were allowed to wear swords while farming as an exception. Thus, Hachioji Sennin Doshin were probably considered appropriate for defensive preparations against Russia and the development of Ezochi. However, due to the harsh natural environment of Ezochi, many suffered disease and returned to their homeland, and the development by Hachioji Sennin Doshin failed several years later.
As seen above, although there were some initiatives of small-scale migration and reclamation during the direct-ruling period by the Shogunate, they did not achieve sufficient results. Still, some development policies by the Shogunate including opening of Nanae Herb Farm, mine surveys and surveys aimed to introduce western-style technologies became pathfinders for full-fledged Hokkaido development in the Meiji era.

鶴ヶ島千人同心 Tsurugashima Sennin Doshin parade

千人同心は、江戸時代に、八王子千人町及びその周辺に住む千人同心を指し、天正十年（１５８２）甲斐の武田氏が滅亡時、筋奉行（国境警備隊長）九人が、部下三百人余りを連れて、徳川氏に臣従したことによる。
慶長五年（１６００）関ヶ原の戦い時に、敗れた諸家の浪人を召抱え、総勢千人となった。八王子周辺に土着し、普段は寄与された土地で百姓をし、隣国の甲州勢が押し寄せてきたら小仏峠で迎え討つ任務があった。そんな「徳川のお抱え百姓」が、日光東照宮周辺の火番役を仰せつかり、寛文二年（１６６２）には頭一人・同心五十人が、半年交代で「十か年に一度ずつ」日光に勤務することになり、毎年旧暦五月二十五日と十一月二十五日に八王子を出発した。
