Is this the former castle?
Former Castle is a medieval castle fort built during the Yu state period, located on the top of the mountain at the top of the mountain. It was built during the Chiba Yutane era (1469-1486), and has been in production for about 120 years.
The former castle is about to be designated as a national historical monument, and was selected on April 6, 2017 as one of Japan’s 100 greatest castle forts (ranked 121st in the ranking). The construction of the castle’s extensive earthworks, the dry construction of the castle river, and the preservation of the castle’s river have been perfected, and the important cultural heritage of the construction of the medieval castle fortifications has been studied, and the construction work is currently underway to preserve its current status.
History of Honjo Castle
Construction background and Yutane Chiba
Built in the style of a castle during the Yu-Jing Dynasty War (1454-1483), a large-scale internal battle in the eastern part of the city. Shigeji Ashikaga, a military commander supported by the Chiba clan, decided to build a new site on the south shore of Lake Inba, and the current site was Inohana Castle in Chiba City. It is located near the south shore of Lake Inba, and is a strategic strategic point for navigating the waterway.
Chiba Yutane is the leader of the Chiba clan, the ruler of the country under the Chiba clan, and the strong force of the eastern region of the country. Other selections include the excellent geographical location of the mountain, the use of semi-island-like hilly terrain, and the southern mountain valley, and the construction of one three-sided water-rich natural barrier. This area is facing Inba Lake (now Inba Lake), the main road of transportation, strategic strategic point, and military coordination conditions. ### The prosperity of Chiba clan Yomoto Castle
After the construction of Honjo Castle, the Chiba clan had a long history of about 120 years. The exhibition of the castle town’s history is magnificent, and the exhibition is the most powerful and grandiose of the daimyo in the eastern region. During the reign of the Chiba clan, the country was ruled by the Hojo clan, and the Hojo clan remained in power for a long period of time.
As the time progresses, the fort’s structure is constantly built and repaired, and the final development is completed, and the fort’s construction continues. The archaeological excavation has confirmed the history of the six castle gates, and the construction of the castle fort has been completed to a high degree.
Odawara Yochiba clan’s overthrow
In 1590, when the vassal Hideyoshi attacked Odawara, an alliance of the Yohojo clan and the Chikano clan station occupied the Hojo clan. However, the Hojo clan was defeated, the Chiba clan was destroyed, the castle was never rebuilt, and the Chiba clan took up residence.
Afterwards, Tokugawa Ieyasu moved into the eastern district, and the first district was established under the Tokugawa family’s rule. In the early modern period, Honka Castle was built as the administrative center of the Kakashi clan, and was the newly built Kabuki Castle (Imakagi City). At this time, the exit from Hongqiao City was the historical stage, and the long period of silence continued.

Topographical distribution of use
The most important feature of Benjo Castle is its skillful use of natural topographical layout. The fort was built around 30-40 years on the mountain, with natural defensive barriers: the south side was Fukaya, and the north side was the wetland of Hu Lake.
The east and west sides of the castle fortress are about 700 meters long, the north and south sides are about 600 meters long, and a series of interconnected fields are established. The main areas include Shiroyama, Toyama and Okunoyama, and each area includes land construction and dry river areas.
Hijikata construction Japanese dry castle river ruins
The greatest highlight of this castle is the perfectly preserved earthworks and the dry and dry castle river. The idea is to build up a large castle in the East and the mountains, with a total area of 10 meters and a total area of 20 meters, and the development of medieval fortifications and defense techniques.
Inside the castle, there were many construction works on the high ground, and the inside of the castle wall was used to block the invasion of enemies. In this case, the civil engineering process is a valuable asset in terms of technical ability and dynamic performance.
Archaeological excavation panel Rokuza castle gate
Recent archaeological excavations have revealed that the main gate of the castle is very small. This is a small castle gate with a fortress-like entrance and exit, which is an important defensive fortress. The castle gate’s final location shows the castle’s traffic flow and defense strategy.
Of course, it is important to be careful about the size of the castle gate. There are many kinds of castle gates, there are many kinds of gates, and there are many kinds of gates.
Chiba Domain Residence Site
Tatenobu lived in the residence of the Chiba clan in Ujo. Archaeological excavations have unearthed construction materials, garden structures, pottery and other everyday items. This is a trivial cultural artifact that I understand was created by the Chiba domain, the life style of the feudal lords during the war, and the Japanese culture, as well as the trade conditions at the time.
The reason for this is that it has been excavated from Chinese blue porcelain, Japanese white porcelain, and other high-quality ceramics. However, this is not the case with other people, who are local dependents, but also have the strength of one of the major feudal lords in the eastern region.
