Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, Kinki Region, Japan

Fushimi Ward is one of the 11 administrative districts that make up Kyoto City, and is located in the southern part of Kyoto City. Fushimi Ward, located in the southeastern part of Kyoto City, was born in 1945 by the merger and incorporation of 9 municipalities such as Fushimi City, Fukakusa Town, and Daigo Village, and Kyoto City, and in 1950, Hazushi Village and Kuga Village. Yodo-cho was incorporated in 1957 and continues to this day. Fushimi Ward is the most populous administrative district in Kyoto City.

Major rivers such as the Katsura River and the Uji River flow through the ward, and since ancient times it has prospered and developed as a base for water transportation centered on Fushimi Port. It is known as a place with abundant high-quality groundwater, as it was once described as “Fushimizu”, and the brewing industry has developed by utilizing this groundwater, making it a representative industry of Fushimi, which boasts one of the largest production volumes in Japan. ..

In addition, agriculture also boasts the largest area of ​​cultivated land in the city, where rice, vegetables, flowers, etc. are produced and play a major role in providing fresh agricultural products to the citizens. In the olden days, paddy rice cultivation began early in Fukakusa in the Kyoto basin, and Fushimi Inari Taisha, the head office of Inari Shrine, was founded by Mr. Hata, a migrant family, until Hideyoshi Toyotomi died here during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. In the meantime, Fushimi Castle and Daimyo Mansion Group will be formed in Momoyama as a major political city, and Fushimi, a castle town centered on major sources, will be formed in the lowlands along the Yodo River extending to the west.

In the early days of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the first Ginza was placed under Fushimi Castle, and the shogunate from Ieyasu Tokugawa to Iemitsu III was also held at Fushimi Castle, which was the political base of the Shogunate. Even after the abandonment of Fushimi Castle, Fushimi Bugyo was placed and prospered as an important port town (Fushimi Port) and post town (Fushimi-juku) of Yodogawa Water Transport. Until the early Showa era, it was a separate city independent of Kyoto. It is also known as the place where Ryoma Sakamoto and other scholars of the debate played an active part in the late Tokugawa period.

It was connected to Kyoto by a highway and the Takase River, and in the Meiji era, the Kamogawa Canal and railroads were opened early, and goods were transported from various places to Kyoto, and industries such as sake brewing were also thriving. Since it was incorporated into Kyoto City in 1931, the surrounding urban area has progressed, and the color of “the suburbs of Kyoto” has become deeper. In addition to Fukakusa and Fushimi, the ward includes areas such as Yodo, which prospered as a castle town, and Daigo, where Daigoji Temple is built. The western and southern parts are lowlands of the Yodo River system, the central part is Mt. Inari and Momoyama hills that continue from Higashiyama, and the eastern mountainous part extends to the border of Shiga prefecture.

Fushimi Ward will bring new vitality to Kyoto, such as the creation of a cutting-edge creative city in the “Rakunan Shinto (highly concentrated area)” centered along Aburanokoji-dori, and the opening of all lines of the Kyoto Expressway and Dainikeihan Road. Further development is expected as a region to be created.

History
Momoyama Hill, which has the largest population among the 11 wards of Kyoto City and was home to aristocratic villas during the Heian period and samurai residences after the Tensho period, is still used as a residential area, but most of it is still used. The vast green area of ​​Momoyama Goryo spreads out and serves as a source of abundant underground water used for sake brewing. While it is a commercial base that inherits the tradition of the castle town, it has the character of a commuter town to the city center of Kyoto and the direction of Osaka.

The place name of Momoyama, where Fushimi Castle was located, is the origin of the names such as “Azuchi-Momoyama period” during the Oda / Toyotomi administration period and its culture “Momoyama culture”. It is said that it has been fixed and spread since it was published.

Ancient
From the fossils of Tegillarca granosa found in various parts of the Momoyama Hills, it is believed that Osaka Bay had invaded the ancient Fushimi. Also, in Fukakusa Taniguchi Town, the molars of the oriental elephant about 500,000 to 600,000 years ago were found from the clay collection site used for Fushimi dolls, and the bones of the forefoot were found in Ogurisu, so the Asian continent and Japan were connected by land. It tells that.

The Fukakusa area was one of the first in the Kyoto basin to start paddy rice cultivation. From the Fukakusa Yayoi site located in the southwest of Mt. Inari, various wooden farm tools such as hoe and plow were excavated mixed with a large amount of excavated materials, and hard timber such as Quercus glauca and Quercus gilva are used to make elaborate wooden utensils. Therefore, it is believed that ironware had already been used. From the excavation site of the Toba Rikyu, which is about 2 km west of the Yayoi Fukakusa site, the remains of a large settlement from the Yayoi period to the Asuka and Nara periods have also been discovered.

In the 5th century, keyhole-shaped tumuli such as the northern tumulus of Ninmei-ryo and the tumulus of Banjinyama were built at the western foot of Mt. Inari, and Koganezuka No. 1 and No. 2 tumuli were built at the southern foot of Mt. Oiwa. You can see that there was a chief who ruled the Fushimi area. The indigenous people in the middle of Yayoi were the ancient lords such as Ki, Haji, and Kuga, but it is said that the tumulus was built by the Qin clan, who came to Japan in the 4th and 6th centuries.

Heian period
Tachibana no Toshitsuna has been on the scenic Fushimi Momoyama (Shigetsu no Oka) for a long time (1069-74), saying, “Lake Ogura’s Irie Hibiki Fushimi, a shooter, crosses over to Tai.” ), The name of Fushimi became known from the time when he ran a mountain cottage, and since it is located at the midpoint between Nara and Heiankyo, it frequently appears in subsequent literature. Fushimi Sanso was a magnificent villa built by Toshitsuna, who was called Fushimi Choja, with his father Fujiwara no Yorimichi, who built Byodo-in Temple in Uji. The magnificent Toba detached palace of Emperor Shirakawa was built in the western part of the subway Takeda station during the cloister rule in the late Heian period. ..

When Emperor Ninmy was enshrined in the Fukakusa Mausoleum in the 3rd year of Kashō (850), Fukakusa became a place closely related to the imperial family. The Fukakusa Hokuryo enshrines the twelve pillars of emperors, including Emperor Go-Fukakusa. Kashoji was built as the family temple of Emperor Ninmy, and adjacent large temples such as Joganji and Gokurakuji were built by Mr. Fujiwara. During the Edo period, one of the twelve dynasties of the dynasty, “Treasure for many years,” was discovered in the Kurazuka tumulus near here. Jōgan-ji was built by Yoshifusa Fujiwara to protect his grandson, Emperor Seiwa (later Emperor Seiwa), and Gokurakuji was built by Tokihira Fujiwara. In this way, Fukakusa became a forbidden royal palace, the Kujo family territory, due to the connection between Fukakusa, the imperial family, and the Fujiwara Seki family.

Emperor Shirakawa, who took over the land of Toba from Fujiwara no Suetsuna in 1086, handed over the throne to Emperor Horikawa, and then began building a magnificent palace as a cloister rule. The situation is described as “just like the transition to the city.” The South Hall is adjacent to Shokongoin (Kyutaidou), the North Hall is adjacent to Katsukomeiin, the East Hall is adjacent to Anrakujuin and Jobodaiin, which will later become the Imperial Mausoleum, and Tanakaden is adjacent to Kongoshinin. There was Jonan Myojin (Jonangu) of Sojinsha. The construction of the Toba Rikyu, which was started by Emperor Shirakawa, was taken over by Emperor Toba and developed into a magnificent temple, and land routes and waterways were also improved for the return of aristocrats.

Daigo and Hino, which occupy the eastern part of Fushimi, developed around Daigoji and Hokaiji, which were built during the Heian period. Daigoji Temple was founded in the 16th year of Jōgan (874) by Shobo Daigo, and became the Emperor Daigo’s Chokugan-ji Temple at the beginning of the 10th century, so it became extremely prosperous, and the temple temple was built in Yamashita, and Shimo Daigo was built. It was shaped. The five-storied pagoda was built in the middle of the 10th century and is the oldest wooden building in Kyoto city. The Sanbo-in Temple, which was built during the era of hospital administration, deepened the belief of the Shogun family because the mansai of the monzeki that was active in the 15th century became the grace of the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. It has become the core of it.

Middle Ages
After Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Toba and Emperor Go-Shirakawa followed the cloister rule, and they were in control of politics. After the demise of Emperor Toba in the first year of Hogen (1156), the Hogen rebellion broke out between Emperor Sutoku and Emperor Go-Shirakawa. After that, Taira no Kiyomori imprisoned Go-Shirakawa-in in Toba-den and placed Emperor Antoku on the throne. At the turn of the medieval samurai era, Toba-den became one of the bases. After being defeated by the Jokyu War, which was aimed at the recovery of the Kuge, Tobain gathered soldiers on the Yabusame of Jonangu, but was defeated and was exiled to the Oki Islands, and the cloister rule ended.

Hino’s Hokaiji Temple was the most damaged by the Jokyu War. Immediately after the transfer of capital to Heian, Emperor Kanmu hunted Hino, and many aristocrats also visited this area. Also, in the middle of the 12th century, the city was regularly held in Nishitsuji and Imazato in Hino on the 9th of the month, and this place faced the Kohokuriku Expressway from Nara to Omi along with Daigo. , It has been open for a long time. Hokaiji Temple lives in Hino, and Fujiwara Shigyo, the ancestor of the Hino family, founded Amidado and Yakushido in the middle of the 11th century. After that, Godaido and Zuisei built Kannon-do and Godaido, but these temples were burned down due to the Jokyu War.

Fushimi-den (Fushimi Sanso) was praised for its magnificence in place of the devastated Toba Rikyu. After the death of Tachibana no Toshitsuna, Fushimi Sanso was presented to Emperor Shirakawa and added to the imperial mansion. Emperor Go-Shirakawa built a magnificent Fushimi-den here, and was also called Funatsu Imperial Palace and Fushimi Rikyu. During the Nanbokucho period, it was inherited by Emperor Kogon and Emperor Komei of the Northern Court, who were supported by Takauji Ashikaga, and the mother of both emperors, Neiko Fujiwara, lived in Fushimi-den and built Daikomyoji Temple in an adjacent location. Fushimi-den was handed over to Emperor Kogon, who later became the founder of the Fushimi-no-miya family.

When the Southern and Northern courts were unified, performing arts culture became popular, and sarugaku, renga, and tea ceremony were held at Gokonomiya Shrine near Fushimi-den. It is written that the villagers gathered at Fushimi-den, dressed up in gorgeous crafts and costumes, and dedicated a rhythmic object (dance) called Matsubashi, which was written by King Sadanari of the Fushimi-no-miya family. I will. However, the town of Fushimi was also hit by fire, as the main shrine of Inarisha was burned down and Daigoji was wiped out with the five-storied pagoda left behind in the Onin War (1467), which was triggered by the battle for inheritance of the Ashikaga 8th Shogun Yoshimasa. It was. In the first year of the Tensho era (1573), Shogun Yoshiaki Ashikaga surrendered to Nobunaga Oda, and the Muromachi Shogunate collapsed.

Azuchi-Momoyama period
Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who lived in the Warring States period and unified the world, built Fushimi Castle in his later years. Fushimi was a relay point for Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, and Omi, and was a key point of transportation for both the waterways and land routes, where the Kizu, Uji, Katsura, and Kamo rivers flowed in. When the castle was built, in 1594, Fushimi Port was opened to carry building materials, and a large-scale construction was carried out to separate Ogura Pond and the Uji River. Then, we built embankments called Taiko Embankment and Makishima Embankment, and made them highways connecting Uji and Nara. In addition, Yodo Castle was abandoned, and Jurakudai was also abandoned in 1595, making it a major base that can be said to be the center of the world.

The first castle built by Hideyoshi began in the first year of Bunroku (1592). Initially, a mansion was built on Shigetsu no Oka as a retired castle for tea ceremonies and banquets, but soon after that it was transformed into a full-scale castle. The castle was completed in just five months, mobilizing a total of 250,000 people, but it collapsed due to the great earthquake of the first year of Keicho (1596), but 10 days later, it began to be built on Mt. Kohan. The Funairi Palace, Tea Ceremony, and Tea Ceremony School were set up in the castle. Construction continued even in the third year of Keicho, and in August of the same year Hideyoshi passed away with the resignation of “Dew and fall, dew and disappearance, my own thing, dream again and dream”.

From the 3rd year of Bunroku (1594), the town allocation and development of the castle town proceeded rapidly. Land readjustments such as samurai residences, temples and shrines, townhouses, and roads were carried out, and the prototype of the current town was formed. Sotobori flowed to the west of the castle, dug around the center of the town, and the excavated earth and sand reclaimed the western lowlands. Kyomachi-dori and Exchange-cho-dori, which run from north to south, formed the core of the tradesman’s residential area. As the residences of military commanders such as Mitsunari Ishida and Nagamasa Asano are described in “Toyoko Fushimi Castle Nozu”, influential daimyo were gathered from all over the country, and the commerce and industry called by the daimyo also came to live. I did.

Mukaishima Castle has no castle ruins and only the town names of “Honmaru Town” and “Ninomaru Town” are left, but the construction of the castle was recommended in parallel with the construction of the Makishima embankment. When the castle tower of Fushimi Castle on Mt. Kibata, which collapsed due to the great earthquake in Keicho, was completed, Hideyoshi entered the castle from this castle in 1598. In the 4th year of Keicho, Ieyasu was given a castle-style mansion on Mukaishima as a special treatment. According to one theory, Ieyasu’s mansion is close to Ishida Mitsunari’s mansion, so it is said that he recommended entering Mukaijima Castle. Ieyasu is said to have invited Hideyoshi to this castle to hold a moon-viewing party.

Edo Period
Fushimi Port in the Edo period was a ship officially recognized by the Shogunate, and was a busy port town where ships called Kasho ships, thirty stone ships, and twenty stone ships come and go. There was also a port in Rokujizo, which connects to the Yodo and Kizu rivers through Minato in Kusatsu, where fresh fish from the Seto Inland Sea were landed, and Ogura Pond and Uji River. Suminokura Ryoi, who built a fortune through the Goshuin trade in 1611, built the Takasegawa Canal, which joins the Kamo River at Higashi Kujo from Nijo Kiyamachi, and digs a waterway further south to extend from Takeda to Minamihama.

By connecting to the Yodo River, Kyoto and Osaka were connected by a waterway. When it became the cornerstone of water transportation as a relay point, large and small ships became concentrated, and Fushimi Port was further developed. The vicinity of Kyobashi is the center of Fushimi Port, and it became the departure and arrival point of the Saigoku Daimyo who changed attendance, and the Honjin and Wakihonjin were placed, and it was crowded with many travelers as a post town.

Ieyasu Tokugawa acted as the first of the five elders at Fushimi Castle, and during the Battle of Sekigahara, he was attacked by the Western Army as a castle on the Tokugawa side and burned. It was rebuilt by Ieyasu in the 6th year of Keicho (1601), and even after Ieyasu moved to Shunfu in the 12th year of Keicho, Hisamatsu Sadakatsu became Fushimi Castle and was a base in the west confronting Toyotomi of Osaka Castle. However, when Toyotomi was destroyed twice in the Siege of Osaka, the castle ended its role as a castle, and was soon abandoned after the proclamation of Shogun Iemitsu, who became the third shogun in 1623. ..

In the same year, a new castle was built in Yodo instead of Fushimi Castle. It is said that the former Yodo Castle was located in the north of the current Yodo Castle Ruins, and was completed in 1625, and was located in Nakasu, which borders the east of the confluence of the Kizu and Katsura rivers. In the 14th year of Kanei, the Kizugawa River was replaced under the control of the castle owner, Naomasa Nagai, and the Kizugawa now joins the Katsura River just north of Otokoyama, Yawata City.

In 1862, from the Satsuma domain’s residence in Osaka, the defeated factions of the clan gathered at Fushimi Teradaya on a thirty stone ship and were preparing for the uprising to complete the defeat. At this time, Hisamitsu Shimazu of the Satsuma Domain, who was an influential person of the Kobu Gattai group at the Satsuma Domain’s residence in Fushimi, sent eight people, including Tsunasuke Oyama and Kihachiro Nara, to persuade them to stop the uprising. Ended in failure, and a great brawl began here. Six people, including Shinshichi Arima, died instantly, and Kensuke Tanaka and Shingoro Mori were seppuku at the Satsuma feudal clan’s residence in Fushimi in the “Teradaya Incident.” Teradaya is a fixed camp for Ryoma Sakamoto, a Tosa clan, and during the New Year of Keio 2 (1866), Ryoma was surrounded by catchers of the Shogunate while drinking sake with Shinzo Miyoshi of the Choshu clan, but escaped along the roof. He escaped from difficulties and was hidden in the Satsuma domain’s residence. In February of the same year, Ryoma formed the Satcho Alliance.

After the great command of the restoration of the royal government in 1867, it was decided to return the official position and territory of the 15th Shogun Yoshinobu Tokugawa. However, the Shogunate, the Aizu clan, and the Kuwana clan were not convinced and decided to strengthen their confrontation with the imperial court. In the 4th year of Keio, Yoshinobu decided to go up to avenge Satsuma, and the leaders of the Shogunate landed at Kyobashi and entered the Fushimi Magistrate’s Office. Around this time, the main corps of the Shogunate army went up the Yodo River, and the pioneer corps went north on the Fushimi Kaido and Tobakaido.

The place of the start of the war is around “Akiyama (former Toba Rikyu Tsukiyama)” west of Jonangu, and the Shogunate army and the new government army of Satsuma, Choshu, Tosa, and Aki collide after a question and answer, Saeda Bridge and more. A fierce battle unfolded involving the towns of Nakajima, Tominomori, and Yodo in the south. On the other hand, a battle was also fought between the Shogunate army that entered the Fushimi Magistrate’s Office and the Satsuma Domain and Choshu Domain that were based in Gokonomiya, and private houses burned and most of the town was burned.

Modern
Following the completion of Lake Biwa Canal in 1890, the Kamogawa Canal was completed in 1890, and the ship carrying people and supplies went south from the Kamogawa Iwakawa to the eastern bank of the Kamogawa, and in Fushimi Horizume-cho, the outer moat of Fushimi Castle. I was connected to (Horikawa). In 1897, the Sumizome Incline was completed, connecting the Kamogawa Canal with a height difference (water level) and Sotobori. We also built the Misu Lock to connect to the Yodo River. Initially, the purpose of the water supply was to improve shipping, promote industry by using water turbine power, and improve water supply, but it was built as an economic promotion measure in addition to hydroelectric power generation.

Fushimi maintained its position as a key point for water transportation until the beginning of the Meiji era. However, the Tokaido Line was opened between Kobe and Kyoto in 1877, extended to Otsu via Inari and Yamashina in 2013, and reached Tokyo in 2010, when water transportation suddenly began to decline. For these reasons, the railway between Kyoto and Fushimi was constructed and completed in 1895. In the same year, in order to transport visitors to the 4th National Industrial Exhibition held in the area around Kyoto Okazaki Park, we welcomed guests from Osaka to Fushimi and carried them from Yukake-cho to Kyoto Shichijo by tram. This is said to be the first train to run in Japan.

In 1898, the 38th Infantry Regiment, the 19th Brigade Command, and the Kyoto Regiment Ward Command advanced to Fukakusa, and in 1891, the 16th Division Command, which oversees these, was placed at the current Seibo Jogakuin. .. The idyllic countryside has been transformed into barracks and barracks.

The division highway connecting Kyoto Station to the headquarters was a two-lane road that was rare at that time, and the First Army Road, Second Army Road, and Third Army Road that intersected with it were created. In 1927, under the guidance of the Army, Nara Electric Railway raised a plan to convert it to a subway, but when the groundwater required for sake brewing, which is a local industry in Fushimi, was exhausted, Fushimi brewers strongly opposed it. It is said that it was elevated.

In the Taisho era, when the brewing industry grew significantly and the town’s economy expanded, the demand for promotion to Fushimi City, which had sprung up around 1890, increased. In 1918, part of Fukakusa Village and Kamitowa Village merged with Kyoto City, Fukakusa Village enforced the town system in 1918, and then Fushimi Town enforced the city administration in April 1929. Was applied to Kyoto Prefecture, and Kyoto Prefecture accepted this, and Fushimi City was born with the approval of the Minister of Interior. However, the birth of Fushimi City was subject to the condition that the merger with Kyoto City be permitted. The Fushimi City side chose to become a city because it recognized that it would be advantageous for the merger with Kyoto City. Two years later, in April 1945, Fushimi City merged with Kyoto City, and Fukakusa Town and Daigo Village also merged at the same time, and the current Fushimi Ward, which is the largest administrative district in Kyoto City, was born.

Districts
Fushimi Ward is an administrative district with a population that ranks in the top 10 among the administrative districts of ordinance-designated cities nationwide. Due to the large population, the large area, and the fact that the connections within the area are not necessarily deep, the concept of division has often come up from ancient times.

Located in the southern part of Kyoto city. The area is long from east to west, centering on the Momoyama district where Fushimi Castle was located, the Fushimi district known for the brewing industry in the castle town, the Fukakusa district in the north, the Daigo district in the east, and the suburbs in the west and south. The eastern part of the ward is a mountainous area centered on Daigoyama, and the western part is a flat land along the Uji and Katsura rivers. In the southern part of the ward, the former Ogura Pond reclaimed land spreads across Uji City and Kumiyama Town, Kuse District.

The ward boundary is in the eastern mountainous area, slightly bordering Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, with Kyoto City Yamashina Ward, Higashiyama Ward, Minami Ward in the north, Muko City, Nagaokakyo City, Oyamazaki Town in the west, and Uji City, Kuze in the south. It borders on Kumiyama Town and Yawata City. It covers an area of ​​61.62 square kilometers and has an estimated population of approximately 283,000 as of March 2009. The area is centered on the former Kii and Uji districts, and includes parts of Otokuni, Kuse and Tsuzuki districts in the west.

In the ward, there are Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, Daigoji Temple, Fushimi Castle Ruins, Meiji Emperor Fushimi Momoyama Tomb, Historic Site Teradaya, Kyoto Racecourse, etc.

The ward was established in 1931. In the same year, Kyoto City incorporated many surrounding towns and villages and expanded the city area, including Fushimi City, Fukakusa Town, Kii District, Horiuchi Village, Takeda Village, Shimotoba Village, Yokooji Village, Mukaishima Village, Noso Village, and Uji District. Fushimi Ward was established with the area of ​​Daigo Village. After that, in 1950 (Showa 25), Kuga Village and Hazushi Village in Otokuni District were incorporated, and in 1957 (Showa 32), Yodo Town in Kuse District was incorporated.

Agriculture
Paddy fields spread in the western and southern parts of Fushimi Ward.

Industrial
In addition to being known as a famous production area for traditional sake, there are also advanced electronics industries and material manufacturing establishments that support them.

Kyoto City is promoting industrial agglomeration under the area name of Rakunan Shinto along Aburanokoji-dori (commonly known as “New Aburanokoji-dori” and “Shin-Horikawa-dori”). There is Kyoto Pulse Plaza (Kyoto Prefectural General Trade Fair Hall) along the road, and trade fairs and presentations by various industries are frequently held, and it is emphasized as a base to publicize Kyoto’s industry to the outside world.

The headquarters of Kyocera and Murata Machinery, which are global companies in the field of advanced technology, are located.

Commercial

Historic sites
In the ward, resources such as shrines and temples, sake breweries and historic sites, townscapes that retain the atmosphere of former castle towns, gate towns, and port towns, festivals and traditional events are inherited. The main ones are Daigoji Temple, which is registered as a world cultural heritage, Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, which is known as the god of prosperous business and fertility of five grains, Hokaiji Temple with the national treasure Amida-do and Amida Nyorai sitting statue, and the famous water hundred of the Ministry of the Environment.

There are the streets of Yodo Castle and the ruins of Yodo Castle.

Fushimi Castle
Fushimi Castle is a Japanese castle located in the current Momoyama district of Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City. The Momoyama district of Fushimi is located at the southernmost tip of the hills that extend from Higashiyama, and Ogura Pond spreads to the south, and it was a strategic location connecting Osaka and Kyoto by water transportation. Fushimi Castle was built three times, and the first castle was Fushimi Shigetsu because Toyotomi Hideyoshi made it a residence after retiring in August 1592 (the first year of Bunroku) after the start of the Korean troop dispatch (role of Bunroku).

Construction started (currently around Elder Yasushi, Momoyama-cho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto). The one built at this time is called Shigetsu Fushimi Castle, and the one that was later rebuilt on Mt. Kibata (Momoyama Hill) is called Kibatayama Fushimi Castle. Furthermore, Kibatayama Fushimi Castle is called Fushimi Castle during the Toyotomi period. It is divided into the Tokugawa period, which was rebuilt by Ieyasu Tokugawa after it was burnt down in the battle of the castle. Fushimi Castle during the Toyotomi period has a gorgeous style.

Fushimi Castle, which was built in Shigetsu, entered Hideyoshi in 1594 (3rd year of Bunroku), two years after the start of construction, and is completed in 1596 (5th year of Bunroku), two years later. Immediately after that, it collapsed due to the Keicho Fushimi earthquake. For this reason, a new castle was to be rebuilt on Mt. Kohan, about 1 km northeast of Shigetsu, and was completed in 1597 (Keicho 2). However, Hideyoshi died in the castle in 1598 (3rd year of Keicho), one year later.

After Hideyoshi’s death, Toyotomi Hideyori moved from Fushimi Castle to Osaka Castle, and Ieyasu Tokugawa, the leader of the Five Elders, entered the castle and took office. During the Battle of Sekigahara, Ieyasu’s vassal Torii Mototada and others protected Fushimi Castle, but the castle was attacked by the western army of the Ishida Mitsunari faction and most of the building was destroyed by fire.

In addition, it is said that the floorboards of the building that the vassals of the Tokugawa clan, who had been standing upright, were used as ceilingboards at Yogenin Temple and Shodenji Temple in Kyoto City, which also served as a memorial service, and are still used as blood ceilings. You can see the fresh marks. However, there are no records or documents supporting the relocation of the Tokugawa vassals’ self-made buildings that survived the burning.

Fushimi Castle, which was burnt down, was rebuilt by Ieyasu around 1602 (Keicho 7) and was abandoned in 1619 (Genna 5). At this time, the buildings and materials were relocated to Nijo Castle, Yodo Castle, Fukuyama Castle, etc. By the time of the Genroku era, peach trees were planted on the site of Fushimi Castle and it became known as Momoyama. In modern times, Fushimi Castle has also been called Momoyama Castle or Fushimi Momoyama Castle.

Fushimi Port
Fushimi Port is a river port that once existed in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. Until around the 1950s, it prospered as a base for water transportation connecting Kyoto and Osaka (Osaka). In 1594 (Bunroku 3) during the Momoyama period, Hideyoshi Toyotomi built a large-scale bank, including the Makishima bank and the Ogura bank, which are generally called “Taiko embankment”, with the aim of controlling the water in the Uji river and drastically changing the flow path.

In addition to ordering the construction work to Toshiie Maeda and others, the removal of the Uji Bridge, the denial of the role of Okayatsu and Yodatsu (Yodo) Tsu, which were important points of transportation via Ogura Pond, and the new construction on the Ogura embankment. By establishing the Bungobashi Bridge at a position directly connected to the Yamato Kaido and the castle, land and river traffic was concentrated in Fushimi Castle. In Fushimi, a port was established to connect the Uji River and the Go River (Horikawa), which became a transportation hub, and a thirty stone ship flew back and forth between Fushimi and Osaka.

In the Edo period, Suminokura Ryoi and Soan’s father and son excavated the Takase River and connected Kyoto with Fushimi, further increasing the role of the port. The shogunate’s transmission station (toiyaba) was also set up, and the main camp and daimyo mansion were also set up for the daimyo who changed attendance to stop by. It is famous that Ryoma Sakamoto used to stay at Teradaya, a ship inn at Fushimi Port, at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. In the Meiji era, when Lake Biwa Canal (Kamogawa Canal) was opened, it was connected to Lake Biwa and a new water transportation route was opened up. A steamship (paddle steamer) went into service at Lake Biwa.
