Ōgaki Castle

Ōgaki Castle (大垣城 Ōgaki-jō) is a castle located in the city of Ōgaki, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Other names for the castle include Bi Castle (麇城 Bi-jō) and Kyoroku Castle (巨鹿城 Kyoroku-jō).

History

When the castle was originally built, it had four levels and four different kinds of moats. In the late 16th century, however, Toyotomi Hideyoshi realized the strategic location of the castle and further strengthened it by building the donjon. Due to the historical importance of the castle, including its role in the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, the donjon was designated a National Treasure in 1936.

Present day

In 1945, the donjon and the rest of the castle was destroyed during air raids in World War II; it was rebuilt in 1959. The current castle is a replica of the keep and the inside serves as a museum to artifacts from the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600.

三河戸田家支流で、戸田一西を祖とする譜代・大垣戸田家が治めた大垣藩 10 万石の居城。1535 年に宮川安定が築いたとされ、関ヶ原の戦いでは西軍の根拠地ともなった。他にあまり例を見ない四層四階の天守は旧国宝だったが大垣空襲で焼失、現在の天守や櫓は RC 造で復興したもの。内堀は尽く埋め立てられているものの、外堀はそこそこ残っていて、総郭を妄想するには充分。

入場料 100円。近くの資料館とセットで150円と非常に良心的。建物内には重さを体験できる弓、槍、火縄銃などがある。史実の外観に近づけるという改修を行っているのは好感が持てます。

戦災で焼失してしまったのは残念、現存していればね。
