点评:We took the JR Tokaido Main Line here from NGO. There is a small tourist centre in the JR station when one can ask for direction but for us it was simpler - homework showed that it is about 20 mins walk up north direct.
A flatlands-style Japanese castle (like Hiroshima, Wakayama castles) so no upslope required. Badly damaged during WW2 it is another concrete reconstruction of a 16th century castle that we visited . Ogaki was the closest castle to the battlefield of Sekigahara and was involved heavily in the wars of the 16th century with Mitsunari Ishida of the Western army using it as his home base. It was designated as a national treasure in 1936. The museum inside the castle retells the story.
We also walked around the park surrounding and noted statue of Toda Ujikane, the first lord of Ogaki Castle imposingly sitting on a horse. One of the interesting point is a mark at the castle stones which mark the high-water level when torrential rain flooded the whole area.
About an hour is sufficient to explore the whole area. We then walked our way back to the sta.
翻译:我们从NGO乘坐JR东海道本线到这里。JR车站里有一个小型旅游中心,可以问路,但对我们来说更简单——家庭作业显示直接向北步行大约20分钟。
这是一座平地风格的日本城堡(类似于广岛、和歌山的城堡),所以不需要爬坡。它在二战期间遭到严重破坏,是我们参观的另一座16世纪城堡的混凝土重建。大垣是距离关原战场最近的城堡,在16世纪的战争中发挥了重要作用,西军的石田三成曾将其作为大本营。它在1936年被指定为国宝。城堡内的博物馆重现了这个故事。
我们还在周围的公园里散步,并注意到大垣城第一代城主户田氏兼的雕像,他威严地骑在马上。其中一个有趣的地方是城堡石头上的标记,它标记着暴雨淹没整个区域时的最高水位。
大约一个小时足以探索整个区域。然后我们步行返回车站。
