温泉街の上の山城 Our Castle

歴史と景色、荒砥城

戸倉上山田温泉の上に荒砥城と言う山城があります。今日、宿泊お客様を連れてきました。風林火山のころの山城の形です。実は、NHKがその大河ドラマの撮影の為に使いました。亀清から歩いて行ける距離(まあ、結構登りますけど)なので是非一度。。。

Above our town is this mountain castle, Arato-jyo. It has been built to the way it was in the time of the Kawanakajima battles. In fact, NHK used it as a setting for their year-long drama, 'Fuurinkazan'. It's within walking distance of Kamesei (admittedly, quite a climb), and is definitely worth seeing.
