History

Hanawa Castle was built by a retainer of the Takagi clan who ruled these lands from Kogane Castle. The Kogane Castle network was extensive through the area including nearby Maegasaki Castle. This castle was likely abandoned after the Siege of Odawara in 1590.


Visit Notes

Very little to see here, even the remains are a bit of a stretch for the imagination but it's nice that it has been preserved as a park. It was a quick bus ride from Nagareyama Otakanomori Sta. on the way home from Moriya Castle but be careful since there are few busses on weekends. I ended up walking back afterwards because the next bus was too long to wait.
遺構は少ないけれど公園化しているの嬉しいです。
