This morning we drove from Fairfield Inn Kyoto Tamba to Sasayama Castle. This time we mainly came to see the Daishoin (why is Daishoin more attractive to me than Sasayama Castle? XD). This is a national historic site. Unfortunately, Daishoin was ravaged by a fire in 1944 and was rebuilt in 2000. It was also selected as one of the 100 famous castles in Japan in 2006. It was also because of this 100 famous castles that we started to drive to collect stamps wherever we go in the next few days. XD Sasayama Castle is a sturdy castle built by Todo Takatora and is the landmark of Tamba Sasayama. If you are interested in Japanese samurai armor, you can pay to experience it (Samurai Armor Experience in Sasayama Castle) The most noteworthy room in the Great Academy is the "Upper Section Room". It is the highest-level room in the Great Academy. It has a 6.9-meter-long alcove. On the right side is a bookshelf and decorative shelf formed by staggered wooden boards of different heights. "Sasayama Castle" had a castle tower when it was first built, but it was never completed. When the castle was built (1609), the Edo Shogunate used the reason that the castle was too strong.

Sasayama Castle was built in 1609 in Tamba Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture, a key transportation hub. Instead of a Tenshu, the large study hall (Daishoin), constructed around the same time as the castle, served as the political center. This large wooden structure was a room only accessible to the feudal lord. Although it was destroyed by fire in January 1944, it was reconstructed in 2000. The autumn leaves are beautiful, and many tourists visit in spring for the cherry blossoms. It is a place that can be enjoyed in different seasons. Admission fee: 400 yen. Closed on Mondays.

Location: Sasayama Castle Ruins Address: 2-3 Kitashinmachi, Tanba Sasayama City Access: 20 minutes by bus from Sasayamaguchi Station (get off at Nikaimachi) This castle has been selected as one of Japan's 100 Greatest Castles.
