131)Iwamura Castle(Japan’s top 100 castles)Japan’s three major mountain castles
It is located in Ena City, Gifu Prefecture.
It has been selected as one of Japan’s top 100 castles.
It is one of Japan’s three great mountain castles, along with Takatori Castle (Nara Prefecture) and Bitchu Matsuyama Castle (Okayama Prefecture).
The castle was built at the highest point (717m above sea level) among the castles of the Edo domains, and is a strong mountain castle that skillfully takes advantage of the topography with a height difference of 180m.
It is the main castle of the Toyama clan, and during the Sengoku period, Otsuya no Kata, the aunt of Oda Nobunaga and said to have been an unparalleled beauty, served as the castle’s female lord.
This is a video of a 49-year-old bachelor who silently visited the castle by himself.
I am posting a visit record of historical remains such as castle ruins that I visited as I thought, based on the belief that I do not flock and do not flirt.
