【Scenic】Japan Travel! Walking Ishigakiyama Castle in 4K—What’s Odawara’s Unique Charm?
I went to Ishigakiyama Ichiya Castle in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Please enjoy it as a virtual walk. It is famous for being built in a short period of time during Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s conquest of Hojo. Today, it is a quiet park where only the stone walls remain. However, its historical background is magnificent, and you can feel the turbulent Sengoku period 400 years ago by walking around the castle ruins.
Ishigakiyama Ichiya Castle is a legendary place that is said to have been built in just one night during the subjugation of the Hojo clan by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1590. Although it was actually constructed in 80 days, it is said that its construction in such a short period of time had a huge psychological impact on the enemy. With the fall of the Hojo clan, the construction of this castle became a step that greatly changed the history of Japan. The ruins of Ichiya Castle are now maintained as a park, and the stone walls in particular remain as a symbol of Hideyoshi’s castle construction techniques. For history buffs and people interested in the Sengoku period, this is a great opportunity to take a virtual walk and feel the atmosphere of that era.
