History of Shinmiya Castle
Short corner mountain in front of the castle
In front of the construction of the new palace, Yoshiyuki Yoshiyuki and her daughter Jezeng lived in Tanjiao on Mt. This is also the origin of the nickname “Short Corner Castle”, which is closely related to the local history.
From the end of the Heian period onward, the area was the center of Kumano religious worship and a thriving exhibition. During the period of war, this area was recognized as one of the most powerful clans in the Kumano area.
Asano-like construction
After the Battle of Yuguanyuan, the complete construction of New Palace City began. In 1600 (the 5th year of Wu’s reign), Yukichi Asano, who was active in the war in the eastern part of the war, was the feudal lord of Chengdu, Italy, with an area of 376,000 koku, and a purchase of Wakayama Castle.
In the southern part of the Keishu domain, special Kumano district, Asano Kocho’s chief vassal, Asano Tadayuki, had 28,000 koku, and other clans had Shinmiya Castle. Tadayuki Asano began construction in 1600 (the 5th year of the Emperor’s reign), and the castle was built as a strategic point at the entrance to the Kumano River.
One Ministry, One Castle, Reiyo, Shigeken
In 1615 (Genna 1st year), the Kofu shogunate’s “One Province, One Castle Rei” was established, and the Shinmiya Castle was established. However, considering the importance of the Kumano area and the geographical location of Wakayama Castle, Shinmiya Castle was constructed in 1618, three years later.
After the heavy construction, the new castle was officially divided into a branch of the Asano clan. During the heavy construction process in the first year of the Genna era, the construction of a castle-like castle and the construction of a Japanese outer fort were completed in detail, and the new fort was presented with a modern appearance.
Mizuno era
In 1619 (Motona 5), the Asano clan entered the Anrishima domain, and the lord of the Keishu domain, Yoshinori Tokugawa (Ieyasu Tokugawa’s 10th son), was appointed. Inko, the lord of Shinmiya Castle was also replaced.
In 1633 (Ken’aga 10), Mizuno Shigenaka became the lord of Chengdu New Palace Castle, and the Mizuno clan completed the restoration of the castle and started the Meiji era. The Mizuno clan was the lord of a 35,000-stone territory, and since the beginning of the Edo Period, the Kumano area has been the center of new palaces and castles.
During the restoration of the Mizuno clan, the castle town was rapidly expanded, and the Kumano River waterway was used as a transportation hub for goods, which was also the former Kumano Palace’s transportation hub. The north side of the city fort was built and built, and a large charcoal factory was built, and it was expanded as time went on.
The Meiji period reaches the end of the Edo period
At the end of the Edo period, Shinmiya Castle was part of the Shinmiya domain of the Shogunate clan, and was an important part of the shogunate system. After the Meiji Restoration (first year of the Meiji era) in 1868, the system of feudal lords was removed, and the establishment of the new castle was established in 1871 (fourth year of the Meiji era).
The Meiji period and the beginning of the Meiji era, the construction of castle forts, the construction of the Japanese garden, etc. are a long time ago. Part of the fort land was acquired by private individuals, and was once built as an inn and other commercial facilities. Nowadays, this is an industrial park, a place where citizens can relax and enjoy pine trees.
