Kiso Fukushima Castle 木曾福島城跡

There was nothing and the signs were not good, so I was forced to make a steep slope to go down to the Kurokawa dam. This route is a steep hill and the maintenance of the Forestry Agency has not been completed in the middle of the route, so it is necessary to plan with sufficient time when selecting the lower mountain road. In order to avoid this route, it is recommended that you return to the route that once climbed the castle ruins and follow the route to Momijigaoka. June 22, 2017 (Thursday) by Fumi Fujii

I think you should think of it as a mountain climb rather than a castle ruin tour. There is a little castle split left on the upper side.

In terms of risk, I thought it might be one of the best in Yamashiro. Even though it was the first road near the elementary school, I suddenly met a big deer at a short distance. Basically, there is a mountain slope on one side and an abyssal cliff on one side, so if you suddenly rush from the mountain side, not only deer and wild boar but also raccoon dogs will go to the bottom of the valley. Even if I rang the bear avoiding bell, I didn't care. It is safer to think about relaxing and always pay attention to the surroundings and prepare your mind and body. Especially if you act alone. Access is also unclear on the Google map route, and it is displayed as about 30 minutes from Kiso Fukushima station, but if you walk from the station, it is not the Google map route, but the entrance to Yamamura Daikan Yashiki and the elementary school is closer. .. In addition, the mountain road whose route is unknown from the middle has many branches and the road is close to the beast road, so it is difficult to understand, and although there is a sign, the indication "Kiso Fukushima Castle direction" is only from the remaining 600m point. This is important and you should not choose it properly, but first of all, please proceed toward "Autumn leaves hill". When you reach it, please proceed toward Yamanaka, where there is a sign and an electric fence that will ease the tension that "bears may suddenly appear at the visit" (laughs). At this point, I chose the widest road and proceeded by mistake, and while being frightened by the bear, I got lost and had a hard time, so please be careful. If you reach the sign of "0.6km Fukushima Castle Ruins", the rest is a road, and you can rest assured that the sign is the usual Ninomaru Sannomaru Honmaru, which is typical of Yamashiro. Sannomaru, Ninomaru, Honmaru, Horikiri, Hard moat, and earthworks are almost untouched, but the remains are moderately untouched. I was impressed that I was able to break into such a place at midnight and take the hostages. It would be encouraging to have multiple people with weapons like Nagayoshi's army, but that is not the case. Please be careful not to be sweet because it is a short distance.

旅 Journey around the PC game Defo Castle You can climb up the road from the road between Daikan-ya and elementary school. It is better to wear some shoes because the slope is tight until a little before Honmaru. I did not see the time, so I do not know clearly, but arrived in about 30 minutes. I walked to Gongen waterfall as it was unnecessarily, but be careful because there are slopes and rocky places on the way from the waterfall to Gyojinbashi

Easy mountain climbing. The view of Momijigaoka is good on the way. Lunch here Go ahead and check Ishigaki, Horikiri, etc. to Yamashiro There are also signs so you won't get lost. I don't know except what is written on the signboard. Is there a mansion on the other side?

From the town of Kiso Fukushima, there are mountain trails that go around the ruins of the castle, Shiroyama, and Gongen Falls. Horikiri and Guo remain firmly in the castle ruins. It's a wonderful place with the atmosphere of an old castle, but there are bears. I actually encountered it. Let's bring a bell.

The owner of the castle is Mr. Kiso. Horikiri is arranged in three directions around the main enclosure of the mountaintop like a real mountain castle. There was a moat with a clay bridge and masonry, and the guide display was fulfilling, so it was a fun mountain castle (^^) ♪
