Site of Kasumigajo Castle (Tezuka Castle) - Suwa District

Is the empty moat a road? Well, it's a parking lot, so I wish I could go to the shrine.

There is a history board at the point connecting the parking lot and Akinomiya. A hilltop with a good view just because there were castles built during the Heian period.

For the time being, the site of "Hotel Sannokaku" (closed on March 31, 2017 / 2017), which is a free parking lot for worshipers of "Shimosha Akimiya", is also a warlord at the end of the Heian period. "Tezuka Mitsumori" (Unknown ~ 1184 /) who participated in the raising of "Minamoto no Yoshinaka" and died in battle with Yoshinaka as one of the four horsemen who followed Yoshinaka until the end. It is a land with an excellent view overlooking Lake Suwa, which is said to be the site of the castle of Juei 3 years. At the site, "Mitsumori, the lord of the castle, follows Yoshinaka Kiso and participates in the battle of Kurikara Pass, which is famous for the surprise attack strategy of Yoshinaka's fire cow in 1183. In the following battle of Kaga Shinohara, he will be defeated. In the Heike group, it was a one-on-one fight with the warlord Saito Betsuto Mitsumori, who only stayed in one horse and struggled. It has been handed down now. "

Already a parking lot .. (・ ・;) The view is good ♪ There is an image of the explanation board and Kinsumi Morizumi. The figure with a bow and arrow on a horseback is cool It feels refreshing to take a walk when visiting a shrine There is hot water too ('∀`)

Kasuga Castle residence Castle owner: Mr. Tezuka / Mr. Gold The age of the castle is not clear, but it is said that it was built by Tetsuko Tezuka during the reign year (1177–181). Mitsuhiro Tezuka, who was good at being a gold-insulted soldier, obeyed the rise of the source Yoshinaka. Toshinaga 2 years (1183) In Kaga's battle of Kasahara, he played a fierce bout with Saimori Mimori, who only strides and struggles in the raging Heike army, and slays his neck to "Heike story" Is noted. The birthplace of Mr. Tezuka is Shiotadaira, Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture, and the name of Tezuka remains. There is a Karin Kannon Temple, which is considered to be the daughter of Tezuka Taro Komori, and there is also a memorial tower of Tezuka Taro Komori, where the daughter and granddaughter of Tezuka Taro (Ginza Shiro) are enshrined. This parent and child also appear in the Agatsuma mirror of Kamakura Shogunate's history book. Tezuka Taro (gold spice mitsumori) is supposed to have a daughter called Karito (Takaito), and there is a part called "Kara-soko" in "Gyoto Sako". According to it, Karin was caught twice as much as the assassination of Minato Yoritomo, the father's nephew. However, Karin's daughter (that is, Tezuka Taro's grandson), Banju keeps secretly feeding her prison mother. After that, Yuritomo had a lifetime in Kamakura when 12 women in honor of the shrine maiden, and Yoritomo, who felt in her redemption, forgives her mother to Amami, and for the first time in a high school of her daughter, Shiina Tezuka no Sato Ueda (Shioda Tezuka district) is given.

Arriving at Suwa Taisha Akimiya, first head to Kasumigajo Castle (Tezuka Castle) (^^). I was surprised to hear that he died in battle against Minamoto no Yoshitsune's pursuit army at the castle of Tezuka Mitsumori, who followed Yoshinaka Kiso ?. Imagine that it might be related to Gichuji Temple in Shiga Prefecture, where Yoshinaka Kiso's grave is located. Then, after greeting the statue of Mitsumori instead of Tezuka Mitsumori, I went to Akimiya (^^).

There was an information board about the sad fateful battle between Mr. Tezuka and Mr. Saito, but unfortunately there is nothing that can be called the ruins of Mr. Tezuka's castle. Only the statue and the statue are left in the parking lot of Akimiya.
