Hyougo Pref. Sasayamashi Kitashinmachi 2-3

The ruins of Sasayama Castle, flatland-mountain castle build on a small hill called Sasayama, located a 10-minute drive east from the Tannan Sasayamaguchi interchange on the Maizuru-Wakasa Expressway. The castle's moat, stone base, and base of keep still stand. Sasayama castle never had a keep, instead centering on a hall called the Oshoin, which was rebuilt in March 2000. Inside the hall, visitors can view informational panels on historic events which occurred in Sasayama Domain during the Edo period as well as models and other exhibits which provide information on what the castle and town beneath it once looked like as well as the different lords who ruled the area. The hall's theater room screens informational videos.

現地の方は「八幡さん」と言ってました。それほど親しまれている神社です。観光案内所前にクルマを置き、小高い山の上に柏原八幡宮があります。神社に登る階段の頭上にうっそうとしている木々は、日光を遮ってくれると思います。神社に着いたら小雨が降ってきたので、下りる時は階段が滑るか気になりました。神社の造りがちょっと独特です。また後ろに朱色の三重の塔があり、ユニークな神社でした。

Hyogo Tamba-Sasayama-shi Nishishinmachi 95

"This history museum operates out of a remodeled samurai residence built sometime after 1830. Used as a home by the Anma family for generations, the museum displays historical documents and everyday tableware left behind by the Anma. Granted a stipend of 12 ""koku"" and three ""fuchi,"" the Anma were one of the families who were vassals of the Aoyama clan, a family whose members served as hereditary lords of the bygone Sasayama Domain. The residence' magariya-style main building and tile roofed dozo storehouse still stand today, giving us an idea of the kind of lifestyle samurai families at the time lived. The museum also displays arms and armor, and other historical artefacts connected to Sasayama Domain, and visitors can come in contact with the history and ways of life of the area. In 1994, the museum building was designated a Cultural Property by Sasayama City."

Hyogo Areas

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
