History

It is not known exactly when this castle was constructed, but it is was most likely built by Oda Nobuhide (Nobunaga's father) to help protect his Eastern borders. In 1529, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu (Ieyasu's grandfather) attacked Iwasaki Castle and took control. When Kiyoyasu was assassinated in 1535 by one of his retainers, Abe Masatoyo, Ieyasu's father Hirotada ascended to the control of the Matsudaira clan. The family itself withdrew from Iwasaki Castle and placed their retainer Niwa Ujikiyo in charge. Four generations of Niwa ruled for approximately 60 years until the Battle of Sekigahara.

Iwasaki Castle actually fell to the Toyotomi forces led by Ikeda Tsuneoki in the Battle for Iwasaki (1584) during the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute. Niwa Ujitsugu, the castle lord at that time, lost his brother Ujishige and many warriors. In the Battle of Sekigahara, Niwa fought for the Tokugawa and was given lands in modern day Toyota City for his allegiance. Iwasaki Castle was then abandoned.

Remains of an original well and yagura are visible. You can see the well from aerial photos of archaeological digs before the castle was rebuilt, but today it is surrounded by concrete with an ugly gauze over it, so it’s somewhat disappointing. The Yagura ruin is on a nearby hill covered by trees, and is much prettier. It is marked by an erect stone slab.

After Kiyosu i visited this castle. To get there i went back to Nagoyastation. Since i bought a Donichi Eco-pass i used the subways. First to Marunouchi and from there to Akaike. This is the last subway station on that line. Beware the train continues but on the Meitetsu line. From Akaikestation i took a Kurorinbasu to Ontakeguchi(=200yen). There are only 1 bus per hour to 1h and half. It takes 15min to Ontakeguchi and from there 5min walking to the castle. From the busstop you see the castle. The castlegrounds were somewhat interesting, but the interior of the castle was void of any thing interesting. The entrance is free. I liked the fact that families may put replica-armors to walk around. I saw alot of kawaii bushi LOL.

Short drive from Nagoya, and short stop on the way to the more interesting ruins of the Daikyu castle. This castle has a few interesting features such a the contrivance with its interesting musical sounds and the remains of an ancient well and a turret.
