Sasayama Castle Daishoin: A famous Japanese castle without a castle tower

This morning we drove from Fairfield Inn Kyoto Tamba to Sasayama Castle. This time we mainly came to see the Daishoin (why is Daishoin more attractive to me than Sasayama Castle? XD). This is a national historic site. Unfortunately, Daishoin was ravaged by a fire in 1944 and was rebuilt in 2000. It was also selected as one of the 100 famous castles in Japan in 2006. It was also because of this 100 famous castles that we started to drive to collect stamps wherever we go in the next few days. XD


Sasayama Castle is a sturdy castle built by Todo Takatora and is the landmark of Tamba Sasayama.

The most noteworthy room in the Great Academy is the "Upper Section Room". It is the highest-level room in the Great Academy. It has a 6.9-meter-long alcove. On the right side is a bookshelf and decorative shelf formed by staggered wooden boards of different heights.


"Sasayama Castle" had a castle tower when it was first built, but it was never completed. When the castle was built (1609), the Edo Shogunate used the reason that the castle was too strong. Order to stop the construction of the castle tower
