Kunohe Castle Ruins - Ninohe

The empty moat and earthworks remain clean.

20200405 I went to the 3rd Kabushima Shrine Worship & 1st Southern Castle Tour Bullet Tour! After visiting the Kabushima Shrine, I forgot to buy the "Gijoin" or "Climbing memorial" after being told by my wife of a "Niwaoka Castle fan", so I went back to the southern castle tour again! The third is Kyunohe Castle! Last time I saw the Kinohe Castle Ruins, which I gave up seeing in the snow! No, it's wide! It was like a large wet area where it was hard to walk in the soup powder state after the snow melted ? I purchased the Kinohe Castle climbing memorial at the "Ninohe City Buried Cultural Property Center", which is a little far away! And without knowing it, a stamp was prepared as if he was selected as "The Second 100 Famous Castles in Japan"! It would be nice if it could be improved a little more ...

We are currently in the castle factory. The flowers around the castle are wonderful. Many are in bloom.

A trip around a certain PC game default castle Kunojo Castle, which stands out when you attack from Komizudera Castle The main castle around here is Sannohe Castle, but it was such an image that the backlog from there is troublesome and half-hearted. It was a trace of seeing Hachinohe Castle, so it was disappointing on the contrary w The ruins of the castle, such as the Ninomaru and the outer Kuruwa, remain, and excavation is still ongoing. In addition, weeding work is also considered to be chitin, and you can see that we are putting effort into having a guide house in the parking lot. Please do not build a mock castle tower that is not interesting

At the residence of Mr. Kunohe, a clan of Mr. Nanbu who ruled this land from the Kamakura period, he confronted Nobunao Ishikawa (Southern) who succeeded the Nanbu Soke and caused a disturbance of Kunohe Masazane in 1591. It is a castle. However, Masami has been subdued as a rebellion against Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who is a world-renowned man. After that, Kunojo Castle became the residence of Nanbu Nobunao, but Nobunao moved his residence to Kozukata (Morioka) and was destroyed in 1636 (Kanei 13). If the Kunohe family had rushed to Hideyoshi, who attacked Odawara, separately from the Nanbu family, like Tsugaru Tamenobu, it would have been possible to become independent from the Nanbu family, but in reality it seems that he did not have such a talent. is. The castle is maintained as a park, and although there are no buildings, you can take a walk from Honmaru to Ninomaru, Ishizawakan, Wakasakan, etc.

The whole can be seen in about 40 minutes. Easy Hirayama Castle with few ups and downs. Easy to visit for beginners, old and young It's a castle. The remains are the Honmaru trace, the stone wall near the Ninomaru trace and Chopsticks will be the biggest attraction. Maintenance looks good and well. Though it is a totally unusual curve ring group, various thinking It is fun to go around while being lost. A castle with a strong impact like this Not, not general ruined castle ruins The fun of this medieval mountain castle is Isn't it a castle ruin that you can taste enough? I think. Focus on maintenance in recent years including the guide house It feels like you are. It happens that local people are maintaining the castle ruins I saw it, but I think it will be difficult. Thank you very much. There are areas still being excavated, so if there is an opportunity I want to visit again.

If it's a warm season, it might be a good idea to take a walk.

We visited on August 19, 2021. This is the third time. Last time, I remember visiting from the major side. Compared to the time when it was first (about 20 years ago), it was extremely well maintained and I was impressed. The area around the main enclosure was still being maintained. Archaeological excavations have revealed that the building was originally a building that used natural hazards. After the Kunohe Masazane turbulence ended, a stone wall was built in the moat on the south side of the main enclosure. In the Oshu re-punishment, Tsugaru Tamenobu's army is also participating in the army centered on Gamo Ujisato who surrounded this castle in order to suppress the disturbance of Kunohe Masazane. In other words, from the perspective of Nobunao Nanbu, who asked Hideyoshi Toyotomi for reinforcements, Tsugaru Tamenobu, who killed his father (Takanobu Ishikawa), came as reinforcements. Tamenobu Oura (Tsugaru Tamenobu), who betrayed the Nanbu clan of the main family and took advantage of Hideyoshi Toyotomi who attacked Odawara, took the whole Tsugaru and became a daimyo. What kind of feeling did Nanbu Nobunao have in front of his father's death? The punishment army challenged the siege battle, but it was difficult to capture it. With the head of Kunohe Masazane, he will come up with a strategy to reach a consensus. Kunohe Masazane, who accepted the consensus and surrendered, was taken to Kurihara City, Miyagi Prefecture, and was decapitated at Sannohazama. The remnants of the political situation, which should have been forgiven by the consensus, are said to have been stroked (killed). There is a memorial tombstone near Ninomaru's Hakute.
