東金城跡

I was looking forward to seeing the city, but the typhoon in 19 caused the trees to fall and I could not enter.

Enter the road between Hoozan-ji Temple and Togane High School. Climb while reading the monument. Shrine, the voice of a bird. If you go to the left, you will see a square overlooking Togane city. If you climb to the right, you will feel the satisfaction of climbing up to the bench, which is surrounded by trees. From Kujukuri between the trees, you can see the edge of the mountain in Boso. Looking back, there is a sword path or a beast path at the end of a little dent. It depends on the season, but if you follow the footsteps without getting lost, you will feel a dead end, and there is a lump of grass with a strong presence in the lower left, and when you go down, you will see a concrete structure. Entrance on the mountain side. Slit on the bottom. You can see that it was called a pillbox. There is a dent made of concrete in the place slightly above this back, although the purpose is unknown. I would like you to think about 70 years ago while listening to the voices of birds.

The mountains were rough. On another occasion

Do not go up because the gas has fallen in the last year of the typhoon!

It looks like a perfect "private land". There was an entrance between the temple and Togane Prefectural High School, but there is a stone pillar on private land that says "No one except the explorer and aspiring person", and the wooden gate is closed. If you ask the temple, we are "exploration scholars" so it seems that they will open it, but I couldn't climb it unless I passed by the grave, so I gave up. Certainly, there was no mention of "Togane Castle" on the Ukiuki sightseeing map at the local tourist parking lot. From the location, it looks like a typical "Yamashiro". The altitude is 43m, and if you head to the west, you can see that there is certainly a mountain surface of the cut, and from here you can see that the area up to "Oami Castle Ruins" in Oamishirasato City on the west side is flat. Since it is after Yamashiro in the Warring States period, there are places all over the country that are also far from "sightseeing spots", but even if you know the origin of Yamashiro, it seems that you do not intend to publicize it. There was a signboard showing the history of the only castle, so I took a picture of it. In the nearby park, there is a description that the Tokugawa family came to "falconry", and it is a place that makes you feel how long the world of Taihei was, which marked the end of the Warring States period. If you know the origin so clearly, you can rent private land and manage it in Togane City to make it a tourist spot. In the Kujukuri Plain, which is almost 0m above sea level, even if it is 4 to 50m above sea level, these places were not hit by the tsunami, and the movement of the enemy was clear at a glance, so it was probably a valuable place during the Warring States period. Since the Nanso Satomi Hakkenden of "Tateyama Castle" in Tateyama City, I have been wearing armor helmets and always watching the state of the neighboring village, and I was relaxed in the "territorial battle" between Japanese people during the Warring States period. That is ... After 500 years, I feel that it has become a reiwa.

A large typhoon a few years ago devastated the climbing road, and the entrance is now closed. Since it is a private property, it remains unmaintained. It seems that it will become Yabuyama as it is

A mountain castle on a semi-independent hill with a scale of about 700m from east to west and about 500m from north to south. It is certain that it functioned as the main castle of Togane Sakai until the 18th year of the Tensho era (1590) ("Kanpachishu Morojo Memorandum", "Mori Family Document", "Toyotomi Hideyoshi Shuin-jo", " Namba Founding Record Collection Documents ”). According to "Kamakura Daisoshi", the first sight of the main castle is that it was based on Harutoshi Hama, a vassal of Tsuneyori Tou who went down from Mino in the early days of the Kyotoku Incident (1454 ~ Hani). .. In the excavation conducted in 1988, fragments of the Seto Mino mortar, which is said to be from the end of the 15th century to the first half of the 16th century, have been excavated. The main hut is placed at the top of the 74m above sea level, and the second hut, which is one step lower, is placed on the west side. On the north slope, which has a relatively gentle slope, a waist-curved ring, a ridge cut, and a step are provided to protect it. In addition, Ohorikiri and Tatebori (disappearing) are placed on the ridge at the western end to prevent invasion from the continuation of the west ridge. It can be said that it is a valuable cultural property when talking about the history of Togane City, as the remains are well preserved and there are first-class historical materials related to the main castle. [Excerpt from the local information board] This time we will visit only the signboard.

Please note that although you can tour the castle, there is a curfew depending on Togane High School. According to folklore, Mr. Sakai moved to the area from Doki Castle, but if you look at the overwhelming earthworks and moats of Doki Castle first, you may think that this is boring. It is difficult to grasp the whole picture because the main enclosure is completely desolate.
