高田城
Takada Castle was built past times Matsudaira Tadateru, Ieyasu's seventh son. According to the 2000 Taiga drama "Aoi Tokugawa," Tadateru was "an incorrigible brat."
Interesting.
The castle structure involved 13 daimyo, including Uesugi Kagekatsu of Yonezawa as well as Made Toshitsune of Kanazawa. Tadateru’s father-in-law, Date Masamune headed upwards the project.
Date Masamune is ane of my favorite daimyo because he seemed to last a chip of a scallywag. From what I receive got studied, Masamune was ever upwards to something, as well as Ieyasu was in all probability wise to operate along an oculus on him. But I seriously wonder why he would receive got his boy Tadateru, the "incorrigible brat," get hitched alongside into the Date household unit of measurement to Iroha-hime, Masamune's oldest daughter. Masamune could non receive got been a skillful influence on him. He may receive got fifty-fifty encouraged Tadateru’s rebelliousness.
Well, nosotros all know what happened to Tadateru. He came belatedly to the Siege of Osaka Castle as well as Hidetada, ordinarily an even-tempered kind (and famously belatedly to Sekigahara), was mad. Tadateru ended upwards living inwards obscurity inwards Suo Province, where he died at historic menstruum 91. Maybe it was non as well as hence bad there, since he outlived all his brothers.
But dorsum to the castle - nosotros took the Limited Express Shirayuki (about a 2 hr ride) from Niigata City to Takada Station. It was an tardily 10-minute walk to the castle, as well as nosotros enjoyed our fourth dimension there.
Takada Castle is known equally ane of 3 top cherry blossom viewing spots inwards Japan. The Million Visitors Cherry Blossom Festival takes house every April. In belatedly July, the moats are filled alongside magnificent blooming lotus flowers.
It is said that the beauty as well as scale of the lotus are the finest inwards the East. The Joetsu Lotus Festival takes house every summer. It would last peculiarly prissy to see Takada during ane (or both) of these festivals. Just last certain to sentry out for the mischievous, incorrigible crows!
