Kyoto Yamazaki battle field Trip by climbing Mt.Tennozan

I would like to inform Yamazaki-battle field trip.



I get off at JR Yamazaki station.
Go along JR to East, then go across JR crossings, you can see a Tennouzan Trailhead.
Uphill is starting.

You can see a Reisen tea house of Sokan-Yamazaki at left side.

Going for a while, road is divided two road.
Select right road.
Then climb 5 minutes, Honnoji battle picture is seen.
Turn left at this picture, then I arrive at Oyamazaki Sanso Museum.


Entrance charge is 900yen.
This museum shows a special Exhibition and normal Exhibition.
There is a coffee lounge at 2nd floor.
From this veranda, Yamazaki town wide view is seen.

This house is British style mountain villa, built at early Showa period.

Next I go to Mt.Tennozan.

Slope is steep, after 30 minutes walking, "Hideyoshi big return to Kyoto" picture is seen.

Sakatoke shrine's Torii is seen.
In front of this Torii, I go to Hatatatematsu Observatory.
Many travelors are waiting this observatory.
From this observatory, Yamazaki battle field is seen.

This battle is a Hideyoshi-Toyotomi vs Mitsuhide-Akechi at 1582.
This field is big.
Yamazaki battle field picture is near theTorii.
This picture shows Hideyoshi win this battle.

Near observatory, big stone statue of Yamazaki battle is established.

Walking few minutes, the grave of 17Samurais is seen.
These Samurais battled at Kinmon-no-Hen in 1864.

Climbing the mountains, I arrive at Sanshagu shrine.
Near the shrine, 'The final seen of Mitsuhide-Akechi picture' shows the Mitsuhide's
last moment.

This picture explaines Mitsuhide-Akechi in detail.
He is a clever Samurai, but he can not understand Nobunaga-Oda Policy.
Next is Sakatoke shrine.

After this shrine, climb 5 minutes, I arrive at Mt.Tennozan, 270m height.

Top of this mountain, Hideyoshi ruling Japan is started from this Yamazaki battle.

Living person inform me the good view point.
Abeno-Harukasu building is seen from this top of the mountain.
But today is cloudy, so we can not see Harukasu.

Descend this mountain, I arrive at Yamazaki Shouten shrine.
This shrine has steep stone steps, and Nio statue.

About 30minutes descending the mountains, I arrive at Rikyu-Hachimangu Shrine.

This shrine is famous for manufacturing Egoma Oil.
At Muromachi period, Yamazaki was prospering of oil.

Yamazaki battle Field is popular at Kansai area.
Please visit this Yamazaki.

That's it.
