Usuijoshi Park - Sakura

The remains of Honmaru and Ninomaru, which had been left unattended for about 400 years since the castle was abandoned in the early Edo period, were owned by Sakura City in the 1990s and were maintained as a castle ruins park. Somei Yoshino cherry trees were planted at the Honmaru site, and Kawazu cherry blossoms were planted at the Ninomaru site.

The site of Usui Castle, which existed at the end of the Muromachi period. Currently it is a castle ruin park. Transferred the role to Sakura Castle and turned it into an abandoned castle. Parking lot is about 5 cars. Enter from a narrow alley.

The road to the parking lot is difficult to enter and understand. Go up the narrow road in the residential area. I wonder if the parking lot can be turned around with about 4 cars. However, it is a good castle ruin that it is maintained only in that place. There are traces of clay bridges, moats, promenades, etc. You can remember the castle. There is a toilet. The scenery may be good in spring.

It is famous as a castle where both Ota Dokan and Uesugi Kenshin have repelled. Mr. Hara was the residence of Mr. Chiba, who ruled Shimosa. Hara Shusui, famous for Christian martyrs in the early Edo period, is also a descendant of this Hara clan.

I visited around noon on Sunday. The plums were in full bloom. There is also the plum season There is a free parking lot, but only 6 or 7 cars could be parked and it was full. I was full (it was stopped at the last minute) The view from the hill is good, and you can see Inbanuma. There is a steep slope, but it takes about 5 minutes to complete the climb. No particular historical matters are specified, it is just a square. If you use the battle of Usui Castle more, it will be an interesting place. There was an old toilet and it was perfect for a walk.

I went to see the plum blossoms and Kawazu cherry blossoms, but it was still in bloom for 1 minute. The highest place is like a lawn square, and plum and cherry trees are planted around it. When it is in full bloom, it will be beautiful. It is a place where it is difficult to obtain the latest flowering information online.

You can see Inba-numa and the morning sun from a hill. As expected it is a castle! There is also a solid empty moat, so you can enjoy it while being compact as a castle. The plums were starting to bloom. 2022/2/26

A little-known park ⁉️ Historic site park with Usui castle ruins as a park ? It is said that it is a famous place for plum blossoms and cherry blossoms in spring, but it was quiet in winter, it is a good place to take a walk around, if it is warm, spread your lunch on a wide lawn and it is perfect for sunbathing ? The area on the north side has an excellent view, you can see Inba-numa, there is a bench, and this is also a lunch area ? Please be careful as the entire park has a children's exploration area and steep slopes depending on the location. ️ Next time I would like to visit in the spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom ? ・ There are no playsets in the park. ・ Cars: Parking is free, 5 to 6 cars can be parked, and you need to be careful because the road is narrow from the prefectural road front street ? ・ Equipped with a relatively clean toilet ? ・ There are usually no shops in the park, no convenience stores nearby, and procurement on the way before coming to the park ? ・ Directly from the parking lot, there are only stairs in the park, and if you go up a little slope from the parking lot, you can enter the front entrance of the slope, bicycles, etc. ?️ ・ Walking ... The train is about 20 minutes on foot from Keisei Main Line / Keisei Usui Station. There is Aeon Usui in front of the station, and the road to the park is narrow. ⭐️ The view towards Imba-numa is wonderful ✨⭐️
