The Kakegawa Castle ( Japanese 掛 川 城 , Kakegawa-jō ) is located in the city of Kakegawa ( Shizuoka Prefecture ). In the Edo period , thirteen medium-sized and smaller Fudai daimyo resided there - somewhat unusually - one after the other .
history
Kakegawa Castle is said to have been built in 1497 on the orders of the military governor ( shugo ) of Suruga, Imagawa Ujichika , by his vassal Akihina Yasuhiro ( 朝 比奈泰 煕 ) to control the province of Tōtōmi . The Akihina remained the lords of the castle in the following generations.
After the Battle of Okehazama , the former Imagawa areas were divided between Takeda Shingen ( Kai ) and Tokugawa Ieyasu ( Mikawa ). The Akihina handed over the castle to Ieyasu, who enfeoffed his householder, Ishikawa Ienari ( 石川 家 成 ), and his son Yasumichi ( 康 道 ) with the castle.
When Ieyasu received the Kantō provinces in exchange in 1590 , Toyotomi Hideyoshi's house elder , Yamanouchi Kazutoyo ( 山 内 一 豊 ), was enfeoffed with the castle, who modernized the castle through renovations. After the Battle of Sekigahara , he handed the castle over to Ieyasu and was transferred to Tosa Province .

The attachment
Kakegawa Castle is located on a 40 m high, isolated hill and has an east-west extension of 600 m and a north-south extension of 400 m. The highest point is occupied by the castle tower (rebuilt in 1954). (The first tower, built by Yamauch Kazuyoshi in 1596, was destroyed by an earthquake in 1604. The second tower, which was immediately rebuilt, was badly damaged in 1654 and then demolished.) South of the tower is the main facility ( hommaru ), on the west side there is the foreland Ni -no-maru and San-no-maru.
After 1868 a school and other buildings were built on the site, and part of the outer castles was incorporated into the city. The residence in Ni-no-maru from 1861 has been preserved.
