日本の城【岩村城】岐阜の山奥にある三大山城「石垣・歴史・構造」を探る！

#NationalMountainCastleSummit #KainosukeHistory On the first day of the 29th National Mountain Castle Summit in Ena, I also visited Iwamura Castle! This time, I'll be introducing Iwamura Castle in Ena City, Gifu Prefecture. Iwamura Castle is one of Japan's three greatest mountain castles, popular among castle enthusiasts. Its most captivating feature is the beauty of its mountaintop stone walls. Standing before the towering stonework, built to thwart invaders, is breathtaking. Due to its geographical location, Iwamura Castle has appeared on the stage of history many times, often in battles between the Oda and Takeda armies. The story of Otsuya no Kata, the female lord who defended the castle, and her tragic end at the hands of Nobunaga, is well-known. Iwamura also boasts a castle town dating back to the Edo period, retaining the charms of the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods. Iwamura Castle is packed with charm, with its mountaintop stone walls, deep history, and preserved old townscape. Let's head out and explore!
