津久井城跡

It is a popular place for both mountain castle lovers and climbers, it is a mountain castle built on a beautiful independent peak like Mt. Fuji, and below is Lake Tsukui, which is a dam lake, and the mountain range beyond that is Minami Takao, which is popular with mountain climbers. It is a mountain ridge, you can see the mountains of Ura Tanzawa from the top, I also really love this place because I am also a mountaineering castle attacker Tsukui Castle was built by Mr. Tsukui of the Miura faction during the Kamakura period. During the Warring States period, Hojo made a major renovation for Takeda and was governed by Mr. Naito. It is a mountain castle with a style of building a mansion and a residential area and staying in the mountains in an emergency, it will be one of the most important bases of western defense such as Hachioji Castle, Ashigara Castle, Yamanaka Castle, Nirayama Castle, Tokugawa Army Corps in the Odawara attack However, it seems that there was no big battle because the castle was opened due to the loss of fighting spirit due to the fall of Hachioji Castle during the Battle of Kagogi. The ruins of the castle are well maintained There are almost no stone walls, but there are many attractions such as Kuruwa and dynamic moats and hard moats, chain roads, and Negoya district. As for the method of climbing the castle, there are parking lots at the tourist center on the dam side and at the park center on the Negoya side. I think that the park center is better for those who are purely visiting the ruins of the castle, but you can also prepare for a chot inside, and the altitude difference is 180 m from here. From the dam side, you can climb 240m above sea level, but the scenery is preeminent, and walking on the boardwalk is fun and I don't feel that it's too shiny. It ’s better from the dam side. In both cases, be sure to get the pamphlet first, there is guidance, but there are many branch points and I am at a loss, and there are places where detailed explanations are only available with QR codes, so I will say again, but be sure to get the pamphlet first. you know! For those who climb the castle early in the morning, there is a pamphlet box outside the park center and at the entrance beyond the observation plaza. It is fun to attack the mountain climbing castle by bus from Kokuraguchi (Shiroyama mountain climbing exit bus stop) from Hashimoto station, but since there are few buses at Kokuraguchi, please get off at the tourist center side on the way back. , There are always 4 buses per hour In addition, the full-scale mountain climbers are incorporated into the south Takao mountain ridge walk from Otarimizu Pass and get off at the peak of Yakushi from the tip of Misawa Pass, and if it is via Mitsui Ohashi, go down to Tsukui Castle and the tourist center while traversing Mezaka from Koamiguchi. From the bus, Minenoyakushi via the dam, it's a piston from the tourist center. It's fun to walk on the wooden path between the tourist center and the park center for walking, a long course that can be reached with a stroller or a wheelchair, and a challenge if there are multiple people pushing The cherry blossom season is the best, but the parking lot is extremely crowded, Yoshino cherry trees around the lake, dark pink wild cherry blossoms in the mountains, I want to arrive early and enjoy slowly I will give you a light photo guide of the course from the park center. In the middle of March 3rd year of Reiwa, the cherry blossoms have not bloomed yet, and I read that it is in full bloom at the end of March.

I couldn't capture it yet, and I went through the castle slope from the ruins of the mansion, and went through the Ogura mountain trail-Magome Kuruwa-Jubeiyama-Otokozaka-Honjo Kuruwa-Honjo Kuruwa. I was very surprised at the defense of the mountain, and if you climb with an aggressive feeling, you will want to refrain from blaming it from this side. Even if this is the real pleasure of Yamashiro, the road is quite steep, so please enjoy it with safety first!

Located on the border between Kai and Sagami, it is the base of the Hojo front line, where Takeda and Hojo competed. During the Kamakura period, Mr. Oe (the ancestor of the Mori clan) ruled, and during the Warring States period, Hideyoshi Toyotomi conquered Odawara and was attacked by Tadakatsu Honda of the Tokugawa family, and after that it became the territory of the Tokugawa family. The hut at the foot of the mountain, which is said to be the residence of the Horikiri, the earthworks, and the vassals, remains in a reasonable amount to remind us of the past. The access is excellent, directly connected to the Tsukui Lake Tourist Center parking lot, directly connected to the Park Center parking lot, and less than 30 minutes by bus from Hashimoto Station, right in front of the bus stop. Toilets are also located near the tourist center, park center, and Honjo Kuruwa. The altitude and the distance traveled are not so long, but because the routes are connected, it loops and I am exhausted. Check carefully at the three-way junction and crossroads along the way. In particular, the road down to the seven turns that goes down to the tourist center is sober and difficult to understand. The chain route has been closed due to a recent typhoon disaster. The main route is Otokozaka, which has a steep slope, and Otokozaka, which has a gentle slope, to the Honjo Kuruwa (without Honmaru), but the seven turns are the steepest. On the other hand, Mezaka, which is considered safe, is a narrow mountain road on a cliff, so if you slide your foot, it will turn upside down. The roads are also muddy, so be careful after rain or in winter. Even if I was careful, I fell asleep twice due to the muddy snow. It was dangerous. There is a bench at a key point with a good view, but probably because of the good access, there were many visitors and it was all filled.

I climbed Shiroyama with my daughter in the first grade of elementary school and my family. I climbed from Otokozaka and went down from Otokozaka. Onnazaka has a narrow and steep road, so I think it's dangerous. It took about 45 minutes from the park center to the summit. Park It was good that the park road was easy to walk and had a feeling of being in the mountains.

Tsukui was a place where conflicts continued, with the territorial relations complicated at the forefront of Mr. Takeda and Mr. Hojo, and even villages to which both belong. It is located in the last mountain massif on the way to the Kanto Plain along the Sagami River from the direction of Kofu, and after passing here, the wide plain spreads out. Tsukui Castle was an important base for Mr. Hojo as the final gateway to the Kanto Plain by controlling the water transportation and forest resources of the Sagami River. By the way, have you ever heard the document "Tsukui Castle Rule"? The content is that Mr. Hojo advised the castle soldiers about their daily work attitude and attitude, but this is interesting. First of all, don't leave the castle and do other work without permission, even if a high-ranking official from Odawara comes to the castle, you don't need to entertain unnecessary government officials, and then you shouldn't drink alcohol in a group and get rid of it. Finally, he concludes that he wants people to be aware that if they don't take care of themselves and work diligently, they will be in trouble and that they may become important to the nation. It seems that the fact that the castle soldiers were lazy and did not work seriously was conveyed to Odawara, the home base, as a rumor (laughs). You may hear the grief of the scene saying, "The salary is cheap and you can't eat without a part-time job, and you can't do it without drinking alcohol!" Then, let's take a look at the castle protected by Shu Tsukui (laughs). It is an independent peak with a very characteristic mountain range even when looking up from below, and the highest point is flattened to make the main circle. The deep and long vertical moat that continues from the top of the mountain is particularly impressive, as it limits the movement of the enemy to the side. How did you dig a groove in a hard rocky mountain with a ridiculously steep slope? If you were to hang your body with a rope and shave it with a chisel and a hammer, you would have needed tremendous manpower. However, the slope is so steep that the enemy seems to fall down without permission before turning sideways (laughs). Also, it is surprising that there is a well where water springs even at high places near the main enclosure, and long-term siege is OK. The castle itself is very well maintained as an easy mountain climbing course, and in places with severe irregularities, wooden paths are set up three-dimensionally so that it can pass smoothly, and the contents are perfect for a mountain castle. I am. It's a technique that can be achieved by the abundant educational budget of Kanagawa Prefecture (laughs).

I climbed the forest for the first time in more than 10 years after a long absence ?? I think it's a mountain of just the right length for a walk! Cicadas, bird calls, a little cool air in the summer mountains, and a great view. .. All healed my tiredness until recently ◎ ?? There are steep slopes in some places, so it may be a good idea to refer to a map along the way. ?

The remains of Yamashiro, which is said to have been built in the Kamakura period (12th century). The entire area is maintained as a park, making it easy to tour the remains. There is a parking lot in the park (free)
