Kuwana Castle - Kuwana

Why is Kuwana City almost neglecting Kuwana Castle, which was the residence of the famous Honda Tadakatsu? Moreover, it is forbidden to climb the castle tower because the stone wall may collapse ... ? A castle full of mysteries in a sense ? Perhaps Satsuma's pressure is still ...

Since there are splendid water moats and castle towers, I would like Kuwana City to take a little more serious steps toward restoration. It is also the residence of Honda Tadakatsu, who is one of the four Tokugawa kings and is ranked high in the popularity ranking of Sengoku warlords, and I wish I could make good use of the warlords and appeal for sightseeing ?

There is only a huge water moat and a small castle tower trace guide. The ruins of the castle are Kyuka Park. There is a castle tower trace on the far right of the Zhenkoku Mori Kuni Shrine. Mizuki built by Tadakatsu Honda after the Battle of Sekigahara. Take one bus every 20 minutes from Kuwana Station, get off at Tamachi, and walk for about 5 minutes.

Kuwana Castle, located in Kyuka Park in Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture, was built by Honda Tadakatsu in 1601 (Keicho 6). Kuwana Castle is also called "Ogijo" because it was a castle that opened like a fan facing Ise Bay. It is a magnificent castle with 95 towers and 63 gates under the castle tower. Was praised. 1701 (Genroku 14) The castle tower was destroyed by fire. All other structures were destroyed in the Boshin War, and now the stone walls and wide moats filled with water retain the remnants of the water castle built at the mouth of the Ibi River in the past. The castle tower of Kuwana Castle, which is quietly located in the back of the Shrine. Even now, only the stone wall of the castle tower remains, but the one that stands at the highest point is not the castle tower but the Yang Earth Dragon soul monument. I feel a little disappointed.

The place is in the back of the shrine, so it's hard to understand and wander around. You don't have to go because you can only see it from the back of the shrine. The surrounding park and turret were better.

⭐️ After the Battle of Sekigahara, Tadakatsu Honda, one of the four Tokugawa Tennos, was sealed with 100,000 stones from Kazusa Otaki Castle ? 1601 / Started the construction of a rope tension in Keicho 6th year, started the new town-building castle town "Keicho no Machiwari", and built a castle tower on the northeast side of the main castle. To ? The whole picture of Kuwana Castle was completed around 1635 during the Matsudaira Sadatsuna era, and it is also known as "the famous castle of Kaido" ❗️ ⭐️ 1701 / Genroku 14th year, a fire broke out in a townhouse, a fire broke out in Kuwana Castle, about 1500 samurai residences and townhouses burned, and the castle tower burned down ? The castle tower was drawn in the Shoho castle picture created around 1645, and in the Bunsei year Kuwana city map drawn after that, only the castle tower Ishigaki was lonely, and the castle tower was not rebuilt ❗️ ⭐️ Single-layered 8 ken (about 14 m) x 6 ken (about 11 m), 4 layers high about 17 m is the castle tower, the north and east sides of the castle tower are immediately water moats, and now there is no sign of it, and what is more interesting is Shoho. There is a water gate that forms a box shape on the south side of the castle tower in the castle picture of Bunsei, a "water gate" right next to the castle tower, a rare and interesting, kind of "buried gate" role for emergency escape ? ★ In the picture, there is a turret on the north side of the castle tower, but the shape of the current castle tower has no vestiges, is it actually considerably modified? Is it not an existing castle tower at all, but something that has somehow restored its appearance? Currently, there is a fear of collapse, so I can not go up to the castle tower.
