Tateyama Castle

Nice view from the top of the castle and the honmaru. Poor signage and information about the castle and grounds.

History

The castle was built by Satomi Yoshiyasu ruling the rich lands around Tateyama. He was, however, not a fortunate ruler. Because he was late joining Hideyoshi's forces at Odawara, he lost a large portion of his lands. His son Satomi Tadayoshi also fell out of favor with the Tokugawa and eventually had to surrended his lands and the castle was disassembled in 1614.

Field Notes

Nice view from the top of the castle and the honmaru. Poor signage and information about the castle and grounds.
