Tsuyama Castle
It took Lord Moori 13 years to have the castle constructed, and it was finally finished in 1616. But in 1874 it was destroyed. Now we can still enjoy the stonewalls with 1000 cherry blossoms in spring. A new white watchtower was finished two years ago.

Royall mentions Minamoto no Yoshiie. It was his father Yoriyoshi who built the first Hachiman shrine in Kamakura after suppressing the rebellion of Abe Sadato, "inviting the spirits" (if that is how we translate 勧請) of Iwashimizu Hachiman to a site in Kamakura in the year 1063.
This was in Yui District, an area now called Zaimokuza, to the west of the central Wakamiya oji. His son Yoshiie (Hachiman Taro) had the shrine repaired in 1081.
And of course it was their
descendant Yoritomo who moved the Hachiman shrine to its present
position, creating Tsurugaoka Hachimangu. The old shrine is now
called Moto Hachiman or Yui Wakamiya.
"Tsurugi no maki" and the whole Hachiman / Genji question is well
treated in:
