To put it simply, the uppermost [Lord Guoqun] is the residence of The Lord of Honmaru and the City Lord, the bottom [Total Structure] is the Castle Town, and the others are all fortresses and fortifications that assist in the defense of the castle, the mountaineering road.
Nanao Castle
Located in Nanao, Kashima-gun, Noto Province, in present-day Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture, is one of the five most famous mountain castles in Japan, and although it is only a relic, it is also designated as a national historical site.
Look out over Nanao Bay from the ruins
From the ruins of the castle, you can see Nanao Bay, because it is located on a ridge about 300 meters above sea level at the northern end of the Ishizuku Mountain System. Because this mountain range stretches and spends many ridges, [Nanao Castle] has arranged its own city defense buildings on ridges, mountain beams, and ravines according to the terrain, forming a super-large-scale mountain city defense system.
The "Seven Tails" of [Seven Tails Castle] comes from the seven ridges of the Shidong Mountain System that branch here, and they are called "Matsuo, Takeo, Plum Tail, Kikuo, Tortoise Tail, Tiger Tail, and Dragon Tail".
Because the main body of the castle is built on the ridge of "Matsuo", it also has the aliases of "Matsuo Castle" and "End Castle".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Nanao Castle during the Muromachi period and the Azuchi-Momoyama period</h1>
According to legend, Nanao Castle is one of the three lords of Muromachi and the first generation of the Nanao Hatayama family, Nordō Guardian · Hatoyama Mankei was built during the 1428-1429 period. At that time, Nanao Castle was definitely not the current size, and it was most likely that an office building was established in the city center (Fuchu City).
[Muromachi Santoji]
A branch of the Ashikaga family established the "Three Posts and Seven Heads" in the era of the 3rd shogun Ashikaga Yoshiman, of which the "Three Posts" were three relative families who could take up the position of "steward", and these three families were also called according to the official positions of the Tang Dynasty, namely , " The Spōbu Guard Family ( Owari , Hereditary Left Guard Governor ) " , " Hatoyama Kingo Family ( Noden , Hereditary Left Guard Gate Governor ) " , " Hosokawa Kyo Shōka ( Kyo , hereditary Right Kyo Daifu ) " , of which the Hatoyama clan was higher than the Hosokawa family and lower than the Spokori family.
Nanao Castle, which was continuously strengthened and added by successive generations of lords, became the base camp of the lord's control for about 150 years. In the Fifth Lord · Hatoyama Yoshichi chose to move the government office building from Fuchu City to Nanao Castle.
Hatoyama Yoshihito
It was not until the time of Hatoyama Yoshitsune and Hatoyama Yoshitsune, when Nanao Castle was completely strengthened and expanded due to successive wars, and it was the largest period in history that the town of Castle (the "general structure" part of the opening picture) was recorded as saying that thousands of households stretched for more than a mile.

Hatakeyama family 11th owner · Hatakeyama Yukitaka
In the 4th year of Tenshō (1576), due to the sudden death of the lord of The Seven Tails Castle, Hatoyama Yoshitaka, and the political instability of The Noboru Kingdom, Uesugi Kenshin invaded the Noboru Kingdom and proposed the heir of the Hatoyama clan that he supported.
Uesugi family Ichimon · Ujo's adopted son · Hatoyama (Jojo) Yoshiharu
A hostage sent by the Hatoyama family, Yoshiharu Hatsuyama, was adopted as an adopted son by Uesugi Kenshin, and then arranged for him to become the adopted son of the Jojo family, who was completely controllable by the Uesugi family, so Uesugi Kenshin elected a puppet · Hatoyama Yoshiharu became the next heir of the Hatoyama family.
But now the owner of Nanao Castle is Harumaru Hatoyama, who is only 5 years old, and the youngest son of Hatoyama Yoshitaka, after all, the name is justified. But he was too young to deal with the antagonisms between his courtiers.
Shigeto Yusa Shimitsu (Biased Towards the Uesugi family)
Shigeomi Onui Kagetaka (Bias Improvement Sugi family)
Shigetoshi Nagashiro (biased towards the Oda family)
1 year has passed since the courtiers quarreled while defending the siege of the Uesugi family!! Eventually, Yusa Anderson, along with the pro-Uesugi clan's Uchiyō clan, killed all the Nagashiro who supported the Oda family, and surrendered Kaesong on September 13, 1577.
Chinese poems · Made on the night of September 13
Legend has it that on the same night, Uesugi Kenshin wrote this Chinese poem "September 13th Formation" in the military formation:
Frost full of military camp autumn air clear,
A few lines through the three more geese.
Crossing the mountains and deneng state scenery,
The expedition to the hometown of Chamo.
But in fact, the author of this poem is most likely not Uesugi Kenshin.
Chiyo Inu · Maeda Toshiya
As a strategic link between Vietnam and Noto, Nanao Castle eventually became the domain of the Oda family, headed by Kanya Nagarai. After that, Noborik became the domain of the Maeda Toshi family, but at this time Japan tended to be peaceful, Yamashiro was already very inconvenient for government affairs, and the government affairs of Noboruko were moved to Komaruyama Castle, where the lord was Maeda Toshimasa, in 1589, the location, transportation, etc. were too anti-era Yamashiro · Nanao Castle was abandoned.

Entrance to the ruins of Nanao Castle
During the reign of the Maeda Toshiya clan, the main government affairs were moved to Komaruyama Castle, so the current Nanao City street is also located near Komaruyama.

The remains of ishigaki of the real SakuraBaba curved wheel
From the low ishigaki to the honmaru ishigaki with a five-fold stack, it has been well preserved, and even the remains of the walls of the various curved wheels of the entire castle have been preserved. Because of this, as an important relic of Yamashiro Castle, it has been designated as a national historical site, and only Goseyama Castle in Wakasa Kingdom also enjoys this treatment.
In 2005, an underground radar detector was used to confirm the location of the former pillar, and the gate of the legendary Nanao Castle was moved to the city of Saiko-ji Temple.
