南山城跡

It will disappear in October 2019

There is a possibility that the mountain will be lost due to the confluence of the Oda River. The Takahashi River that flows under the castle mountain has long been considered a location where other forces confront each other across the river from the width of the river. Therefore, it is conceivable that this castle was used as an important point of defense for the power west of the Takahashi River, making the river a natural fortress. Especially during the Sengoku period when the country was turbulent, it was said that the coast was approaching until now Sakata, and that this Shiroyama faced the estuary of the coast, the transportation of the Takahashi River and Sanyo running north and east immediately west It can be considered that the use of the road also provided an excellent function as a base for marine goods and transportation. For this reason, although not historically recognized, it is a true castle mania to guess that this castle has been a very important base for the area since ancient times, especially for the forces of Kawanishi. Let's go. Recently, the number of castle enthusiasts who prefer Waka Castle has increased, and there is an increasing number of castle lovers who misunderstood the castle tower as a castle and that the stairs to climb to the castle tower and Honmaru are difficult to climb If you like history, you like this castle.

The castle is not a simple tourist destination, and it is difficult to climb and leave the terrain. Wouldn't it be necessary to re-recognize that hardship as a castle?

It is a castle ruin that will disappear soon to prevent flooding. As a measure against floods that caused massive damage in the case of heavy rainfall in West Japan, the mountains are shaved to smooth the flow of the Oda River. Excavation will end in October 2019, so it is possible to observe it until October. If you wish to visit, please contact Okayama Kibi Cultural Heritage Center in advance.
