Tsuruga Castle - Tsuruga

There are no ruins of the castle ruins, only a stone monument in the precincts of Magenji. As for the remains, there is a transfer gate at Kokugyou-ji Temple and a guide monument at Shiga Nishi Elementary School.

Heijo is very rare in an era when the smell of the battlefield is still pungent ? What kind of understanding did the famous general Yoshitsugu Otani build Tsuruga Castle?

There is no remains as a castle ruin. Only one cornerstone and a castle ruin monument. The stream flowing beside it was just a castle ruin Let's be proof of that.

1700, January 24, 2020 (45 minutes) There is no parking lot at Raikoji Temple with the relocated middle gate, so I stopped by shopping at a nearby convenience store. Thank you ~ m (_ _) m Is there a parking lot for worshipers at Shinganji Temple where the stone monument and cornerstone of Tsuruga Castle are located? (Because it is vertically long, does the micro bus stop?) Please note that the next parking lot is different. There was also a memorial monument of Yoshitsugu Otani… I'll try again tomorrow. In addition, there is waterway, is it leftover ...? I will check the information board in front of the elementary school. According to another review, Tsuruga Castle was located at Tsuruga Municipal Hospital… Very close to the ex-wife's edge! ! I'll also look for traces of Tsuruga Castle tomorrow ~ ∠ (> _ <) 0915, January 25, 2020 (45 minutes) Continuing from yesterday, we explored Tsuruga Castle ~ First we headed to Tsuruga Local Museum ~ There is a parking lot in the precincts of Yawata Shrine ... but it is closed in winter ... I came and broke away ... Next is the explanation monument in front of Tsuruga Nishi Elementary School. This is on the east side near the school gate. Because the road is wide, we put out the hazard, parked, took a quick photo and continued ... Go to Eishoji Temple, where the monument to Yoshitsugu Otani is located. There is a parking lot. First of all, I decided to visit and opened the doors of the main hall together, and I heard that there was a gobo and that I wanted to visit. The outer Kuju stone pagoda was a memorial to Yoshitsugu Otani. Thanks and prays, then to the outside memorial ... It's quite expensive ... According to the board, it was erected in 1609. The tall Kokonoe stone pagoda seems to be very unusual and has become a Tsuruga City designated cultural property. I prayed for your happiness ... that's all! It was a 90-minute tour of the castle, which was continued yesterday-it is scattered over a wide area, so if you walk around it will take more time. There is no snow right now, but I hope it will be helpful for those visiting Tsuruga Castle ~ ∠ (> _ <)

Yoshitsugu Otani is the residence of Tsuruga Castle. It is now a Shinto shrine of the Otani school, and there is only a corner stone along with the monument of the ruins of Tsuruga Castle. It seems that the whole castle at the time was not understood very well due to the abolition of the castle by one country and one castle order ? I'm looking forward to excavation and surveys, so I'm looking forward to reporting.

There is a stone monument of "Otani Yoshitsugu Tsuruga Castle Ruins". In the old days, the map of Japan was upside down, and this was the center of shipping in Japan. When I think so, it has a taste.

The owner of Tsuruga Castle ? is Yoshitsugu Otani. Ishida Mitsunari's only friend. We are both from Nagahama, and we are spending time together, famous for Hideyoshi's Sansen tea. Hideyoshi Toyotomi, the owner of Nagahama Castle, headed for falconry and was thirsty, so he stopped by the nearby Kannonji Temple (Asahimachi, Maibara City), and Mitsunari, who had a small family name at this temple, served Hideyoshi tea. The first cup was thirsty and I wanted to drink a lot, so I served lukewarm tea, the second cup served a little hot tea, and the third cup served hot tea. Hideyoshi, who was impressed by this act, has taken Mitsunari as Hideyoshi's Kosho. This is the encounter between Hideyoshi and Mitsunari, and it has become the tea of ​​Mitsunari. In addition, there is an anecdote for the first time in two honeymooners, and Yoshitsugu suffered from what is now called Hansen's disease, so at the tea ceremony, the tea bowl that Yoshitsugu drank is afraid of infection, so no one wants to see it. At that time, Mitsunari puts his mouth and drinks without hesitation. I want to drink another cup. Also, during the Battle of Sekigahara, Yoshitsugu Otani advises Mitsunari to join the East Army, but eventually, as a friend, he joins the West Army and supports Mitsunari, preparing to die. Tsuruga Castle is a lowland castle located about 100 meters from Tsuruga Port. The foundation stone of Tsuruga Castle remains in Shinganji Temple of the Jodo Shinshu Otani School, and the river in front is said to be the moat of Tsuruga Castle.

Under the ground, you can find the cornerstones after the castle. Access is from JR Tsuruga Station, take the No. 3 bus stop Tsuruga Tour Bus ?, get off at "Osakana Street" for 15 minutes, and walk for 10 minutes.

It is the site of Tsuruga Castle that once existed. At that time, this Yuki-cho was a castle, so I think it was a large scale, but now only a part of the foundation stone remains in the precincts of Shinganji built on the site of the castle. .. At the entrance of the nearby Tsuruga Nishi Elementary School, there is also a stone monument showing the ruins of the castle. The castle builder will be Yoshitsugu Otani, a warlord of the Warring States.
