Oshi castle ruins

Japan, 361-0052 17-23 Honmaru, Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture

Oshi Castle, considered one of the Seven Great Castles in Kanto, was built around the beginning of the Bunmei era (1469-1486) of the Muromachi period. It is said that at the end of the Sengoku period, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi pacified the Kanto region, the castle bravely withstood a water attack by Mitsunari Ishida and others, and hence the nickname "Floating Castle" was born. The current Oshijo Gosankai Yagura was rebuilt after being demolished during the Meiji Restoration, and you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city from the top floor. The local museum, which opened in 1986, is located on the site of the former Oshi Castle Honmaru site, and holds exhibitions on the theme of ``Gyoda's history and culture.''
