Tatebayashi Castle - Tatebayashi

As for the ruins of the castle, there are only a few earthworks, moats, and tiger mouths, but it is interesting to imagine that there is a large structure in and around the park.

Akai Teruyasu was the first lord of the castle, followed by Mr. Nagao, Mr. Hojo, Mr. Sakakibara, and Mr. Matsudaira, followed by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, and then Mr. Inoue. Finally, Mr. Akimoto. That means there was also a castle tower.

Tatebayashi City Designated Historic Site Tatebayashi Castle ruins Designated Historic Site of Tatebayashi-shi Historic Site I, Tatebayashi City Castle Town Kojisan-1 and others Era, Warring States Period-Edo Period Tatebayashi Castle is a castle that has made "Jonuma" a vital feature of nature. Another name is "Obikijo." Its form is the outer moat on the east side of the castle, and the lower plateau which protrudes to this swamp is divided into the main center of the castle, the main circle, the second circle, the third circle, the third circle, the south circle (Minamiguruwa) Place an Inagurugu (Inarigu), an outer shell (Sotoguruwa), a soguruwa, and place a castle town on the plateau to the west, all of which It was surrounded by earthen and moat. About the construction period and the construction person, there is what is said to be built by "Akai Terumitsu" among things written in the Edo period, and it is widely known in combination with "the Samurai tail legend", but actually The record of Tokiji Temple, which made clear the time of the castle construction and the people who built the castle, has not been found until now. The oldest historical document written about "Tatebayashi Castle" which is confirmed now is "Tatebayashi (Tatebayashi) Castle" where Uesugi army is the castle of "Akai Bunroku-Bunso" in the third year of civilization (1471) Is a record of having After that, in the three-prone battle of Echigo Uesugi, Kai Takeda and Odawara Hojo, "Nagao" and "Hojo" came to dominate Tatebayashi. With the seal of Tokugawa Ieyasu, etc. in 1890 (1590), one of the four Tokugawa's four kings, Yasumasa Sugawara, became a castle lord with a hundred thousand stone, and when the Edo era is reached, "Tatebayashi" can hold the Tone River in Tohoku. As a key place for the area, and after Tokugawa Tsunayoshi became the fifth generation, it was positioned as the Edo Shogunate as an important place related to the Tokugawa Muneya who produced the Shogun, until the last castle owner Akimoto, the heavy Edo Shogunate It prospered as the residence of the seven families who served as the (Kyuchin). Most of the castle buildings were burned down in 1874, but even now part of the earth such as Honmaru, Sanomaru, Inarikaku, Castle town, etc. is left, and the Dobashimon is restored in the Sanomaru. . Dobashiri is one of the entrances to the center of the castle (Minomaru), and at the time of the castle there was used as a gate for the main entrance "Sanukimon". This Dobashiri was restored based on the results of excavation survey in 1957. The foundations of three gates and two wells were found by preliminary excavation survey. In addition, the temples that remain in the vicinity along with the gate are the temples that surround the Sanomaru, and are from the Edo period. In particular, the temple extending from the gate to the hand of the key is called "Shito Midori", and it was devised so as not to be able to see through the area at the time of opening the gate, and it is valuable because it is the only remains remaining in the prefecture. It is a thing.

It used to be a neighborhood. When I went to see it today, it was more and more astringent. But I wonder if I like the cherry blossom season, it's beautiful at night because it's lit up from below.

Because it is a castle ruin, the castle tower and the main enclosure are only traces and do not exist. The Dobashi Gate has been rebuilt.

Gunma prefecture in the Meiji era seems to have been very reluctant to preserve the castles of the modern age, and it is called Maebashi and Takasaki, leaving only the ruins of a castle that is so sorry that it seems that the first-class musicians ruled. .. Tatebayashi is also just a green park, which I don't think was sealed by the later Shogun Tsunayoshi. A small gate called Dobashi Gate, which looks like the entrance to Sannomaru, has been restored, but I don't think it has a good taste. I feel that the city is motivated when the same explanation is put up on the front and back of the gate. It's nice to have an atmosphere as a park, so I'd like you to leave at least this quiet state.

Gunma Prefecture has Maebashi City, Tatebayashi City, Takasaki City and castle ruins, but the Takasaki Castle Ruins are barely maintained. I'm sorry…

The earthworks are left exactly, and the wedge-shaped stone, which is probably a stone wall, is left.
