Oshi Castle

Situated in the center of the city, Oshi Castle was constructed in the Bunmei years of the Muromachi period and it is known as the "floating castle" that withstood Mitsunari Ishida's inundation tactics when Hideyoshi Toyotomi subjugated the Kanto region.
One of the seven famous castles of the Kanto region, Oshi Castle became the symbol of the castle town of the Oshi clan (100,000 koku).

城マニア

小説『のぼうの城』の舞台になったお城です。現在の城郭は江戸時代のものを復元したものですが、周辺の公園などとあわせて戦国時代の名残もここかしこに見られますよ。
