Sannohe Castle

History

After the original Sannohe Castle was burned down in a rebellion by one of his retainers, Nanbu Harumasa built his new castle on this site. The castle was further fortified into a modern castle with a palace and yagura by Nanbu Nobunao after he became lord in 1582. After Kunohe Masazane's uprising in 1591, Nobunao moved into Kunohe Castle and his nephew became lord of Sannohe Castle.

Field Notes
