Site of Maruyama Castle - Izu

Ryuichiro Ichiro "To the unknown sea" A little place comes out. What was it like, 4, 500 years ago

There was a tsunami warning, and it was a daffodil festival, but I couldn't get down to the bottom.

Yamashiro and Deshiro under Hojo were developed and expanded by Ujimasa as a naval castle against Takeda. The bay on the inland side was made into a bunker that was not affected by waves. Hideyoshi's attack on Odawara defeated the Navy and seems to be an abandoned castle as it is If you want to see both Maruyama Castle and Deshiro, we recommend the parking lot of "Maruyama Sports Park" along the national highway, and there is also a large, free and clean toilet. I would like to go around both Deshiro and Yamashiro First of all, let's walk toward the sea along the moat of the boat pool that you can see below After that, walk left on the seaside road for a while and you will see the entrance to the promenade to Dejo. If you climb about 50m above sea level to the top of Deshiro, you will find the Kuruwa of Deshiro Honmaru. There is a small shrine and there is something that looks like a stepped ring, but I couldn't go by Kusabobo. If you go, you will hit a national highway If you cross the road and walk up a little, you will find the entrance to Maruyama Castle, which has a signboard for the Satoyama Garden area. From here, it will be a climb with an altitude difference of nearly 100m. On the way, you can see many places that seem to be traces of Kuruwa and stone walls that retain earth. The vertical moat (Kanbori?) And the empty moat seem to be something like this, but there are already a lot of weeds in the season, and it is difficult to distinguish between the Kuruwa and the moat. Also, most of the upper Kuruwa is a citrus field. There was an Azumaya and an angry stone, and there was a pamphlet box, but it was empty. Since it's a big deal, I visited Tsushima Shrine, which enshrines Gozu Tenno at the top, returned to the same road, and when I got off a little carefully along the national road, it was a parking lot, thank you for your hard work. It seems better to visit here in winter when there is little undergrowth. The photo is GW in May, I can not add a photo comment, but I intend to make it in chronological order, so please read it somehow Only a few photos have been uploaded to the map, I should have uploaded about 40 photos ... I will try again at a later date

2021/6/24 As soon as you enter the mountain from the national highway, you will see a koguchi that has been solidified in Ishigaki! It would be great if this was the one at that time. There is a stone wall from there and it has a nice atmosphere. The main enclosure cannot be entered with a grass bow. Looking down from Shia above the main enclosure, it is certainly flattened. If you climb further and climb straight on your right hand, there is a place like a cliff, but this mountain seems to have been a fruit tree mountain, and I do not know if it is a remains. Go back to the road and go further to the entrance of Gozu Shrine. From this shrine, you can overlook Suruga Bay, and it feels like a pirate castle.
