八王子城 御主殿跡

After going to the summit of Hachioji Castle Honmaru, go to the ruins of the lord. Honmaru was a mountain climbing, so it is definitely better to go after the main shrine. It's quiet and very nice, and I'm excited about Ishigaki (laughs) It's evening, I didn't go to the waterfall in the back. (I did not notice) There is a table in the ruins of the palace, so it looks good for a picnic.

From this place to the Honmaru ruins ... There is no direct way to go. You will have to go back to the administration building and go on the mountain road.

If you think about the time when you held a gorgeous banquet here after the ceremony, it will be worth seeing!

It's a wonderful mountain castle! It will be a little hike to the main enclosure, but if you are not interested in the castle, you may be able to easily go to the ruins of the main shrine with children while strolling along the wonderful old road, and you may be able to time slip into the Warring States period, the Lord Please note that there is no toilet at the site of the palace. There is a guidance facility for Hachioji Castle, so please take a walk and there are toilets and parking lots!

It is the place where the residence of Hojo Ujiteru, which can be said to be the center of Hachioji Castle, was located. The old road to the Gomoriden and the Hashibashi are not the ones at that time, but they are beautifully reproduced and you will be excited just by walking. The stone wall near the tiger mouth seems to be in the same state as it was detected. It remained unbroken for 400 years. The Gomoriden has a main shrine, a meeting place, and the remains of a garden. It seems that these are reproduced on top of what was once dug and filled again. Pottery, tea utensils, and Venetian lace glassware have been discovered here, and you can feel the humanity of Hojo Ujiteru.

The ruins of the main shrine at the ruins of Hachioji Castle. The ruins of the main shrine can be reached in about 5 minutes on foot from the free parking lot, but the ruins of Honmaru have a mountain climb, so it takes about 20 minutes. Next to the parking lot is the Hachioji Castle Ruins Guidance Facility, so it's a good idea to collect information in advance. It is a mountain castle built by Hojo Ujiteru (1590), the third generation of Odawara Hojo, the third son of Ujiyasu, who was based in Odawara. It is not clear when the castle was built, but it is presumed that Ujiteru moved from Takiyama Castle between the 12th year of the Tensho era (1584) and the 15th year of the Tensho era (1587). On June 23, 1590, as part of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's control of the Kanto region, he was attacked by Toshiie Maeda and Kagekatsu Uesugi and fell. Odawara Castle, which continued to be a siege with the fall of Hachioji Castle as the decisive factor, was opened and Hojo was destroyed. At this time, Ujiteru was in a basket castle in Odawara, and after the castle opened, he and his brother Ujimasa were seppuku in the castle. Hachioji Castle is one of the best mountain castles in the Kanto region. The castle that Ujiteru envisioned was magnificent, and it is believed that it was still unfinished when the castle fell. The castle is roughly divided into a "Negoya district", which is a castle town, a "residential district" such as the "main shrine ruins" where the castle owner Ujiteru's mansion was located, and a "harmful district" which becomes a fortress during battle. At the turning point of the 400th anniversary of the fall of the castle in 1990, passages such as stone walls and koguchi in the main shrine area and old roads leading to the main shrine were constructed. For the stone pavement and stone wall, the ones confirmed by excavation at that time are utilized as much as possible, and even the damaged parts are restored as faithfully as possible to the shape at that time. In addition, a management building was built to guide visitors, and a Hachioji Castle information board was installed in the plaza. The area around Hachioji Castle was under the direct control of the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Edo period, and was a national forest after the Meiji era. It was. The fortified area is created by skillfully utilizing the terrain of Fukasawa (Shiroyama). A main enclosure is set up at the top, and a flat ground called "Kuruwa" is placed around it to prevent the invasion and attack of enemies. In April 2006, it was selected as one of the "100 Famous Japanese Castles" by the Japan Castle Association because it retains its good condition as a mountain castle in the Warring States. In addition to Hachioji Castle, Takiyama Castle has been selected as one of the "Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles" in Hachioji City. (From Hachioji City website)

A fairly large and flat space. Many cornerstones and explanation boards have been installed, and they are still being excavated. It's a castle ruin that you can expect in the future.

There is a panel (?) About Hikibashi. At this position, I can't find anything that should be called a remains, but what does this pin mean? I pointed out that it was a dubli of the ruins of the main shrine, but it was not adopted by google teacher. Since it is near the end of the Hikibashi, the remains may be the remains, but I think it is not enough to stand the pins independently. 2021/2/6 postscript When I checked the panel carefully, I heard that a stone wall trace was found on this side of the river. I visited again today and looked at it, but I don't know which area was the site of the stone wall at that time, but I am deeply moved to think that many dramas would have been unfolded here.
