Guide to complete preparation of Kanayama castle ruins
Jinshan Castle is this? | Yamashiro Noichi, representative of the Kanto region during the war period
The site of Jinshan Castle is a mountain castle representative of the country’s era, and was built in the 235.8 U.S. area of Jinshan Mountain in the central area of Ota City. Its official name is “Nitta Kanayama Castle”, also known as “Ota Kanayama Castle”.
The most important feature of Jinshan City is its ingenious use of Jinshan’s natural topography. The construction of the castle is about 3.1km from the east and west, 3.8km from the north and south, and the area covers about 300km, making it one of the largest castles in Japan. The time required for installation to reach its full potential is variable.
Kanayama Castle has been rated as one of Japan’s 100 most famous castles, and also one of the seven most famous castles in the eastern part of the country. In 2006, the official designation of the National History Museum was approved by the government.
Yamashiro special features
Kanayama Castle-like construction, the appearance of the early castle tower, the main stone burial mound of its history, the construction of the civil engineering works such as the Hijikata process and the river, and the preservation is perfect. A unique strategy for using mountain castles: During peacetime, the residence is located in the mountain; and in time, the fort is located in the mountain.
The main castle (fortune) is located on the mountain in all directions, and the four major castles are the west castle, the north castle (sakanaka castle), and the eight-sided mountain castle in Hachioji. In this case, the castle was destroyed by the construction of Kawa Hijikata, and the fortification of the castle was established by the commander of the castle.
History of Jinshan Castle | Construction started
Construction history and Iwamatsu Iezumi
Built in 1469 (1st year of Bunmei) as the residence of the Iwamatsu family of the Yushinden clan in Kanayama Castle. The Iwamatsu clan is a descendant of the Nitta clan, and has a prominent position in the area.
From the beginning, the construction of Jinshan Castle was planned, and the fortifications were impossible to build, and the topography of Jinshanzaki was fully utilized. During the time when the country was in operation, production control was an important factor in determining the location of the area.
The violent atmosphere of Yoganeyama Castle during the Yuro clan era
Owned by Mr. Yuko Kanayama, the empress of Mr. Iwamatsu. During the reign, Kanayama Castle reached its peak, and the castle was completely improved. As a result, the stone tombs and stone pavements and stone slabs that we see here are complete and complete, and the capital was built at one time.
Mr. Yuro established Kanayama Castle, finished the battle with Uesugi, won Takeda, and other great masterpieces. The reason for this was that Kanayama Castle had not yet fallen, and Uesugi’s attack had reached more than five stages, and since then, Takeda had won a comprehensive victory and had ten stages of attack within the city. This is the right cause, and the beauty of being a “hard young gold fan” is achieved by visiting Kanayama Castle.
Hojo Clan
After the end of the War, Kanayama Castle was completed and the Hojo clan was in charge of the eastern area of the city. However, in 1590, the vassal Hideyoshi moved to Odawara, the Hojo clan was defeated, and Kanayama Jōya disappeared.
During the Edo period, Terumori Nakayama, a vassal of Ieyasu Tokugawa, was the lord of Kanayama Castle, but after Fuku, he was the commander of the castle. After this, the history of Kanayama Castle was removed and buried, but the stone stone was still preserved.

Zhengmen Shiban Road Yoshi Mound
The most representative example of the Kanayama Castle ruins is the stone slab road and Japanese stone tomb of the main and small gates. The excavation and repair of the stone slabs at the base of the stone slabs, the history of the mountain castle during the time of the war, is a rare example of the current state of advanced stone masonry techniques.
The main gate is the entrance to the fortress, so that the enemy can invade the enemy. A high-height stone tomb stands on the side of the stone slab road, and when the envoy arrives, it is a systematic and sophisticated defense. This small piece of stone has been used in the “field cake” technique, which is skillfully made with natural stone, and has been preserved in its original appearance for more than 400 years.
Hinoike Yozukinoike
The main feature of the Kanayama Castle ruins is the stone water pond, which is similar to the famous “Hinoike” and “Tsukinoike”. It is an important water source in the mountain city, and it is also the stone water reservoir that was seen in the mountain city during the imperial era.
Hinoike is located near the castle tower, and Tsukinoike is a little further away. At this time, the stone head for the pond and the city will be put into practice, and the advanced civil engineering technology will be developed at the time. People are aware of the fact that the pond is not a water source, and it also has protective functions in Japanese rituals.
The archaeological excavations at the bottom of the fort revealed cultural artifacts from that time, which are important clues to the provision of life within the fort.
Tenshu Gate
The castle tower is located in Jinshan Mountain, which is the central part of Jinshan Castle, and is also the residence of the castle lord. At 235.8 miles above sea level, you can have a spectacular view of the mountains, and you can have a bird’s-eye view of Daejeon City, and the eastern plains.
Nitta Shrine, where the castle tower is occupied by the shrine. The shrine’s surroundings are now on hold, and Hijikata’s clear schedule is clear, and the castle’s fortifications are clear.
Hijikata construction work
The defense of Jinshan City was systematic, and the key to the defense was that of the mountain river. Multi-layered castle river tiers were intersected, and effective land was prevented from invading the enemy.
Earthquake construction work was carried out at each capital within the castle, and a large-scale civil engineering project was completed at that time. In addition to the civil engineering process, it was constructed as an important component of the defense system of Jinshan Castle.
Saijo, Hokujowa Hachioji Yamashiro
Outside the main castle, surrounding castles are distributed over the mountains, including the western castle, northern castle (Sakanaka castle), Hachioji mountain castle, and other attached castles and ponds. In this case, the outer defense work is to protect the main city, and the concept of multiple defenses has been realized.
Each castle has its own unique defense design, forming an integral and cooperating defense system. As you explore the area, you can walk along the route, explore the flower time, and feel the excitement of Kanayama Castle.
Archaeological excavation and modification
Archaeological excavation
Since the Showa period, continuous archaeological excavation has been carried out at the Kanayama Castle ruins. This small excavation work step by step shows the structure of the stone burial mound, and the daily life tools used by people at the time.
The idea is that the excavation in the vicinity of the main gate has been proven to be an elaborate stone road surface with Japanese drainage design, and it has been demonstrated that the mountain castle in the country’s history had a high degree of excavation in the city. The excavated cultural relics include Chinese pottery, and the culture level of the castle owner is high.
Additional items to open and modify
Based on the results of archaeological excavation, Daejeon City’s current project will open and repair items at the Kanayama Castle ruins. During the excavation of the stone wall at the main gate, the construction method was followed and the repair was carried out faithfully.
During the repair process, the emphasis is on ensuring archaeological integrity and visitor safety at the same time. Each of the buildings in the castle site has information on the name of the Japanese language plate, and the historical background and the environment of the world’s intention. ## Japan’s 100 greatest castle seals and castle fortifications
