Tamba Kameyama Castle Ruins

3.0

Tamba Kameyama Castle was built by Akechi Mitsuhide as a strategic base in Tamba Province (the old name for the area north of present-day Osaka and Kobe) during the late 16th century. During the regime of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the importance of the castle led to its further fortification and the development of a castle town. During the Edo Period, the government ordered the most powerful feudal lords to update and repair the fortifications. As a result of the abolition of the feudal system at the beginning of the Meiji Period (1868-1912), the castle was demolished, and many of its documents and wall stones were sold off. The site of the castle was abandoned and unused until 1919, when members of the Omoto sect of Shinto unearthed stones from the former castle walls and reconstructed the walls, which remain standing today. The entire castle site is the property of the Omoto sect, and those who wish to tour it must apply at the reception desk.

A regrettable relic bought by a new religious group

Reviewed : 2021.12.05

明智光秀の丹波攻略の拠点として機能した城であるため、城好きであれば是非とも行ってみたい城ではありますが、実際に足を運ぶと非常にガッカリするでしょう。新興宗教法人『大本』によって遺構や敷地は買収され、彼らの事務所で入場料を支払うものの、立ち入ることの出来る箇所はかなり限られているからです（敷地内のほとんど区域は、彼らの神域として定められているため、基本的に立ち入ることが出来ません）。立ち入ることが...

京都府のお城巡りで、福知山へ向かう途中寄ってみました。城跡が個人に売却されて、法人施設になっているなど、不思議な感覚にとらわれました。
