| Description | Kyooji Temple. Doesn't the building in the front look like a castle yagura? Castle defenses were not only built up by the stone walls and yagura. The town around a castle also played an important role in the castle defense. In particular, the placement of samurai homes and temples formed a part of this network of defenses. You'll notice a lot of temples around the fringes of the Izushi town. In particular, the 3 temples featured here each sit on one of the major roads through the town and could have been used as a fortress should the need arise. |

| Description in Japanese | 経王寺。石垣の上にある建物は櫓に見えませんか。お城を守るのは石垣と櫓だけではなく、城下町の構造そのものがお城を守る役割がありました。特に武家屋敷や寺院の配置によってお城を守ることができました。出石は町内を通じる街道には櫓などを設けた、砦代わりになる寺院が数カ所あります。経王寺は京街道。 |
