Hagi Castle - Castle Town Miscellany

This album is dedicated to a set of photos from around the castle town that don't fit into other categories or don't have enough photos to create a new album. They are equally important to the castle town and I encourage people to look through this fascinating set of photos and locations

Kosatsuba This is a reconstructed kosatsuba or location where domain and bakufu decrees were posted for all to see. Along the ground we can also see some markings of the original stone walls that went past here but have been long since buried.

Meirinkan. The highlight of this set is surely the Merinkan so don't go away without viewing this. The Meirinkan was another name of the Hanko, or, Domain School, setup by the Choshu Domain. The big building you see today called Meirinkan is actually from the Meiji Period so you'll see no photos on this site, but there are some original structures from the Edo Period: Yubikan (hall for practicing martial arts), the South Gate and the Kantokumon Gate.

Tokoji Temple This temple on the outskirts of Hagi was actually my first stop in Hagi. 40 graves of Mori family members, including 5 Choshu Domain Lords may be found here. The site is also contains several important cultural properties.

Jonenji Temple Gate The Uramon (裏門) of Jurakudai was gifted to Mori Terumoto by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Mori took the gate with him and placed it in Hagi Castle. While Hagi Castle was being built, Mori lived at Jonenji Temple and eventually gifted the gate to the temple. The gate is a national important cultural property.
