Where Righteousness Stood: Yoita Castle’s Silent Legacy
Japan eats raw horse meat? That’s wild! Yeah, that’s basashi. Ever tried natto? Natto? That stuff tests your courage. Okay, then what about sea urchin? Sea urchin? If you like that, your taste buds need debugging. So what *can* you eat? Something safe… like sushi. …All of that is in sushi. …Wait, seriously!? Can you eat that stuff?
A quiet mountaintop fortress in Niigata, Yoita Castle was the stronghold of Naoe Kanetsugu, a samurai famed for his unwavering devotion to the Uesugi clan. Though the castle itself is long gone, the site still whispers of strategy, resilience, and the weight of one word: “Gi” — righteousness. It’s not flashy. It’s not touristy. But for those who climb its path, it offers a view shaped by centuries of conviction.
新潟の静かな山城、与板城は、上杉家に忠義を尽くした武将・直江兼続の居城だった。城跡には建物こそ残っていないが、「義」の一字に象徴される覚悟と戦略の気配が今も漂う。派手さはない。観光地っぽさもない。ただ、登った者にだけ見える景色がある。それは、何百年もの信念が積み重なった眺めだ。
