Hyougo Pref. Tatsunoshi Tatsunochoukamikajou 128-1

The site of a castle located close to the Tatsuno City Museum of History and Culture. The castle is believed to have been built in 1499 at the top of Mt. Keiro by Akamatsu Murahide. After four successive generations of lords from the Akamatsu clan, it is said the castle's tower was destroyed when it capitulated during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's conquest of the area on the order of Oda Nobunaga. Thereafter, repairs were made using the stone foundation and then a new castle was built. In 1979, the inner citadel and two-tier corner tower were rebuilt. Today, a trail leads from behind the current Tatsuno Castle to the site of the old castle at the top of the mountain.

ここは子供時代の軍師、黒田官兵衛が敵方の赤松に捕えられて、父の黒田聖隆がこの龍野城に乗り込み、直談判して取り返したとの物語が伝えられています。現在の龍野城は後年、１６７２年に脇坂安政が築城したとされている。本丸御殿、真っ白な城壁、埋門などが復元されている。桜の時期にも行ったことがあるが、白い城壁と桜のコラボが素晴らしかったのを覚えている。
