2021/12/11城山東側の神社のすぐ北の畦道から攻城。畦道の先は3メートルほどの薮笹トンネル。道は無くなるがそのまま斜面をよじ登ると右手に行けば主郭、左手にいけば堀切とその下には物見台がある。主郭は東側と北側が土塁に囲まれ綺麗に削平されている。この城は家康が関東に移封された時に一時期松平家忠が居城としたらしい。恐らく細尾根に囲まれた東側の畠地に居館を造ったのではないか。

Sakurai Castle Ruins (櫻井城跡)The Sakurai Castle Ruins (Sakurai-jō Ato) are a historic medieval castle site located in the Sakurai district of Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture, formerly part of Shimōsa Province. The castle is traditionally regarded as the first stronghold of Tō Taneyori (東胤頼), the sixth son of the distinguished samurai lord Chiba Tsunetane, one of the principal supporters of Minamoto no Yoritomo during the establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate.The Birthplace of the Tō ClanAccording to local tradition, after receiving control of the Tō-no-shō (東荘) estate in the late twelfth century, Tō Taneyori established his residence at Sakurai Castle, making it the earliest seat of what would become the influential Tō (East) Clan. From this base, the family governed the surrounding territory and helped shape the political development of northeastern Shimōsa during the Kamakura period.Historical traditions further suggest that the Tō family later transferred their principal residence to other nearby castles, including Numaketsu Castle, Sugayama Castle, and Moriyama Castle, as their domain and strategic needs evolved.A Medieval Earthwork CastleLike many castles of eastern Japan before the construction of large stone fortresses, Sakurai Castle was primarily an earthen fortification. Rather than towering keeps, its defenses relied upon carefully engineered landscape features, including:Earthen ramparts (dorui)Dry moats (karabori)Defensive enclosures (kuruwa)Natural slopes and elevated terrainThese fortifications provided an effective defensive position while serving as the residence and administrative headquarters of the local lord.Historical SignificanceSakurai Castle represents the formative period of samurai rule in eastern Japan. During the transition from the late Heian to the Kamakura period, local castles such as Sakurai became centers of military authority, land administration, and regional governance. They illustrate the emergence of the warrior class that would dominate Japanese politics for centuries.The castle is also closely connected with the history of the Tō-no-shō Manor, a medieval estate whose name survives today in Tōnoshō Town. The Tō family's administration of this region played an important role in the political and economic development of northeastern Chiba.Present-Day SiteToday, little remains of the original structures, as centuries of agricultural use have transformed much of the landscape. Nevertheless, the location of the former castle continues to be recognized as an important historical landmark. Informational markers identify the site and preserve the memory of its medieval past.A Legacy of the SamuraiThe Sakurai Castle Ruins stand as an enduring reminder of the origins of the Tō Clan and the medieval history of the Tone River region. Together with nearby castles and historic sites throughout Asahi City and Tōnoshō Town, the ruins help illustrate the evolution of samurai society from the Kamakura period through the Sengoku era.For visitors interested in Japanese medieval history, the Sakurai Castle Ruins offer a valuable opportunity to explore the birthplace of one of Shimōsa Province's influential warrior families and to appreciate the historical landscape that shaped the early development of eastern Japan.
