90)Oka Castle(Japan’s top 100 castles)An impregnable castle built in 1185 AD.
It is located in Taketa City, Oita Prefecture.
It has been selected as one of Japan’s top 100 castles.
According to legend, it began in 1185 when Ogata Koreyoshi built the castle to welcome Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who was chased by Minamoto no Yoritomo.
In the Battle of Toyosatsu in 1586, the castle defeated the Shimazu army and gained fame as an impregnable castle.
In 1594, Hideshige Nakagawa was transferred to the castle, and after entering the castle, it took three years for extensive renovations to take place.
Rentaro Taki, the composer of “Kojo no Tsuki”, spent his childhood in Takeda, and is said to have gotten the idea for the song from Oka Castle.
This is a video of a 48-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.
