History of Tsuwano Castle

Era: Yokichi’s era when the castle pond was built

The history of Tsuwano Castle was traced back to the post-war period. In 1281 (Koan 4th year), after the invasion of Mongolia, the Shogunate was responsible for the second invasion of Mongolia, and because of this, it was difficult to obtain and strengthen the defense along the coast of the Sea of Japan. As part of the work defense policy, the Noto state’s vassals were seen on a mission to serve as guardians of the country. Construction, etc. From 1295 to 1324, the construction of the castle fort was completed, and the time taken was approximately 30 years.

Since the Yoshimi clan, the western region of the country has been completely established. The castle fort was first constructed as a medieval castle in the mountains and rivers. For about 300 years, the Yoshimi clan has been in charge of the area, and during the time of the war, they have been in charge of the feudal lords who have been in charge of the area, and they have also been defending the Tsuwano area.

Age of war: Yoshiki clan Yomori clan lineage

With the advent of the era of admiralty, the Yoshitoshi clan and the Mori clan, the rulers of the Chugoku region, secretly cut ties with Nisei. The Yoshimi clan was controlled by the Mori clan, and it was an important branch of the Chengdu Shanyang area. During this period, the castle’s defensive capabilities were strengthened, and a portion of the stone tomb was also constructed.

In 1591 (19th year of Tensho), the Mori clan, a subordinate general of Hideyoshi, reduced the land to Suo and became a long-term domain, and the Yoshimi clan and the Mori clan left the country. This is a summary of the 300-year history of the author.

Edo era: Mr. Sakazaki Mr. Wazui

In 1600 (the 5th year of the Emperor’s reign), after the war of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Sakazaki Naomori entered Tsuwano, a feudal lord with an area of 30,000 koku. Naomori Sakazaki’s medieval castle was rebuilt on a large scale, and the envoys were enshrined in the modern fortifications. The Sakazaki clan used their exquisite stonework techniques, built a high stone tomb on top of a mountain, and exhibited the castle tower, double fort, and triple fort (Shubemaru).

However, in 1616, Naomori Sakazaki was accused of being accused of being a suspect, and the Sakazaki family was eventually removed from the area, and the Sakazaki clan was short-lived.

In 1617 (Motona 3rd year), Masanori Kuwai was appointed Kano governor of Inaba Province (Imanatori) and was given a stipend of 43,000 koku. The 11th generation of the Takui family was Choji Wano, about 250 years ago, at the beginning of the Meiji era. During the Takui era, the castle town was established and flourished due to Tsuwanoya’s history, making it a culturally famous castle with the title of “Little Kyoto”.

In 1686 (the third year of the Kamigyo period), the castle tower and other major structures were constructed, and Tsuwano Castle was attacked. The castle tower has not been rebuilt since then, and the main castle’s interior has been put on hold. After this, the residence in Yamashita became a practical administrative center belonging to the domain, and the military affairs and functions in Yamashiro were concentrated.

After the Meiji period: History and history of the country designated by the government

After the beginning of the Meiji era, in 1871 (Meiji 4), the feudal system of Yuyu was abolished, and the establishment of the Japanese prefectures was established, the Tsuwano domain was annexed, and the Tsuwano castle was enshrined. In 1874 (Meiji 7), the remaining construction and removal of the Tadashita Stone Mound.

After this, Tsuwano Castle remained uninhabited for many years, however, the history of the castle was removed and the people who received it were recognized, and in 1942, it was designated as a designated country’s history. Right in front of me, Shizuka is currently working on the protection of the movement, and the tourist attractions in the area are also open to tourists.

Clothing Bureau

Tsuwano Castle is a typical mountain castle of the troupe. The natural defense construction of the mountain structure, three sides of the water, the Tsuwano River’s flowing water, the formation of a castle pond that can be used for practical purposes. The structure of “one castle branch” for the castle pond, the central Honmaru, the two surrounding castle enclosures, Wasanmaru, and the outer castle enclosure to the north.

The shape of the main enclosure is unique, the stone mound is extended on three sides, and it has been observed that there are various defensive works. Each burial mound is separated from the capital by stone tombs, and each envoy has its own independent defense fortification. There are traces of defensive construction, such as the multi-striped road leading to the entrance to the castle, and the gates of the castle gates on the bisho road.

Features of Seishin

The most beautiful part of Tsuwano Castle is the perfectly preserved Kouya stone tombs on Usan. A large number of stone tombs that can be seen today were built in the early Jiang Dynasty, when Naomori Yusakazaki was the main owner of the site. The various construction techniques of small stone mounds have been exhibited, and the use of natural stones (wild grass bamboo) and processed stones (driving), and the demonstration of fort construction techniques that we can now see.

A spectacular view of the stone tower of the castle tower. The construction of the small stone wall was based on the construction of the mountain, and the current state of modern stonemasonry technology was developed.墙强燇用人 “赞GI砌筑” techniques, 增强了结构的Strength. In addition, there are cleverly placed drainage holes on the top of the wall to prevent rainwater from entering.

Main castle tower and main burial mound

The castle tower is the core of Tsuwano Castle, and is the most powerful part of the land. The occupied land is approximately 1,500 square meters, including the castle tower, Ahe Palace Hall and other major buildings. As of now, the current location is based on the construction of Seiwa, but the view of Tsuwano town and the surrounding mountains is still beautiful.

The second and third burial mounds are located south of the castle tower, and the Yushi tombs are separated. The place where the vassal resides is a peace palace. Outer capitol construction in the north (Kyobemaru) The castle tower is an independent capitol, and is an important defense base for invasions into the north.

Current situation

In front of us, the main stone mound of the Tsuwano Castle ruins is being constructed. The capital was built in 1995, and the stone mound was perfectly preserved, and the castle fortress was in its prime appearance in its heyday. The fort was put on hold in the fort, and the fort was built in ancient times.

Defense works such as the road along the way to Wano Castle, the castle gate that can be seen, and the square castle wall and castle river. The idea is that the third road to the third road to the second road to the second road should be clear.
