It was easy to access and enjoyed the ruins of the castle. The parking lot was just grass.

Uehara Castle Ruins, a historic site designated by Nagano Prefecture The castle was built as the base of Mr. Suwa, and although it is small, it currently has the main enclosure, the second enclosure, and the third enclosure, and the remains of earthworks and empty moats are left behind. You can drive nearby. 【history】 The age of the castle is unknown, but it was built by Mr. Suwa, who ruled the area. After that, Mr. Suwa was destroyed by the invasion of Shingen Takeda. In 1549, Takashima Castle was built in place of Uehara Castle, and the castle era is placed in Takashima Castle. As a result, the political base of Suwa District will be moved to Takashima Castle. Mr. Takeda was destroyed by the conquest of Koshu by the Oda army in 1582. Uehara Castle has been abandoned. 【access】 Uehara Castle is a mountain castle with a relative height difference of 200m, but you can climb it nearby by car.

旅 Journey around the PC game Defo Castle It took me in Karahori ~ The view is certainly good when climbing on the rocks GM's guidance is still difficult to understand

You will reach the summit in about 10 minutes from the parking space at the entrance to the castle. The observatory rock is huge!

The residence of Mr. Suwa who fell himself due to Mr. Takeda's invasion of Suwa. Mr. Suwa gave up interception at Uehara Castle and moved to Kuwabara Castle, a branch castle, but surrendered at Kuwabara Castle. The remains are in good condition.

Park is here from the time I was born The number of people from other prefectures has increased since it became a popular tourist destination, but the atmosphere at dusk has a special atmosphere and it is very calm.

Although it is a small castle, it is also the place where Mr. Suwa and Mr. Takeda were destroyed, and it has historical significance. Near the summit of Mt. Kompira, where the castle is located, there is a huge rock called Monolith, which may have been the object of worship of people since ancient times in the Jomon period. The castle is made by incorporating it into the Ninomaru. When the Suwa Soryo family, who also serves as the priest of Suwa Shrine, built a castle town as a castle during the Muromachi period, it will develop as a political and religious center in the Suwa region. The incident occurred during the time of Yorishige Suwa, who married Shingen Takeda's younger sister. Shingen, who has run out of patience, sends 5,000 soldiers to Uehara Castle against Yorishige, who repeatedly provoked the territory of his brother-in-law, Shingen, by inviting the lords around him. Yorishige surrendered, but was not allowed and was forced into seppuku. I can only say that I saw Shingen's anger sweetly. The Suwa Soryo family was destroyed here, and Uehara Castle was requisitioned by Mr. Takeda, and will be used as a base for Mr. Takeda's invasion of Suwa and Saku. The next time Uehara Castle appeared on the front stage of history was when the Oda Tokugawa Hojo Allied Forces conquered Koshu. Yoshimasa Kiso, a clan of Mr. Takeda, tries to draw in Oda from the direction of Kiso Valley after seeing Katsuyori Takeda. Furious at this, Katsuyori ran for Uehara Castle to punish Yoshimasa and ordered the corps to gather. Did Katsuyori predict that this would be Takeda's final activity as an "army"? Although 15,000 soldiers are gathered around Uehara Castle, when the content of the Allied invasion is transmitted, the turmoil spreads, some turn over to the other side, some run away, and the army is no longer formed. By the time it was withdrawn to its new home, Shinpu Castle, the number had dropped to 1500. Katsuyori imposed a heavy tax on his subordinates in the name of defending the Takeda area, and was buying a strong resentment because he abused the people, and apparently he was not the target to protect his life. The end of Katsuyori after that is as you all know. When looking down at the subordinates who escaped from Uehara Castle, Katsuyori would have realized his destiny and felt the bottom of the kettle coming out. It's okay to imagine his feelings while looking at the same scenery in the same place.
