Innoshima Suigunjo - Onomichi

I saw the castle while traveling by car for a long time, so I wanted to go someday. So, I finally went. But,,, It took less than 5 minutes to enter the museum (?) At the top of the mountain for a fee. When I entered, there was only one room, and as soon as I proceeded along the route (?), It was a U-turn. There is no sense of failure that I paid !!!! When you reach the top, you should look inside the castle on the right corner and the military commander's meeting on the left side of the museum, take a model of the ship and take a picture, and get off obediently. Well, it's a place that only happens once in a lifetime, no. that's all

I stopped by while cycling. The museum is small and has only one room, but the admission fee is 330 yen, so it looks like this. No admission fee is required if you just want to enjoy the scenery.

It is the castle of the head family of the Murakami pirate (Navy), who was said to be the strongest in Japan during the Warring States period by Muromachi. In the Battle of Miyajima and the First Battle of Kizuguchi, Mori led to victory. It seems to have been in the Seto Inland Sea around the Kamakura period, and gathers a lot of pirates on the western side of Setouchi that were around before the Muromachi period. A good pirate who promised not to pirate instead of taking a toll tax from a ship passing through the islands of the Shimanami Kaido, which is now called, and also piloted and guarded? is After that, he was divided into three groups, Innoshima Murakami, Kurushima Murakami, and Noshima Murakami, and served different samurai families. Nojima Murakami seems to be the most brave group with Saika Ikki, and is the stage of "Murakami Pirate's Daughter", which is also a manga in Ryo Wada's novel. During Hideyoshi's time, the Navy was dismantled and the three families left to serve military commanders in various places. If you park your car in the free tourist parking lot, you can see the castle on the small mountain in front of you. First of all, let's go to the Innoshima Museum (free of charge) at the entrance, I could not enter because it is open only on weekends and holidays, but it is popular with other people's reviews. And head to the castle The castle is also closed on Thursdays It's a paved road, but it's a steep slope, there is no distance so let's do our best Go through the Kara-style castle gate and climb the stairs for a while to reach the castle tower. The shape is different from that time, but the place does not change. The inside is a museum, and if you pay 330 yen to enter the castle, you will be greeted by a miniature of Atakebune and Kobayafune. The upper panel shows the history of the Murakami Suigun in order. Armor and armor are interesting because they are unique to the Navy. When you leave the castle, there is a double turret, so let's climb and enjoy the scenery. There is a handmade explanation panel and Kobaya boat on the back side of the outside, but this explanation picture scroll was the easiest to understand. Mochiron After this, I will go to the Murakami Suigun Museum in Oshima to complement it.
