Kameyama Castle at Kameoka city in Kyoto

Visit Kameyama Castle at Kameoka city in Kyoto
I would like to inform Kameyama Castle trip.

I ride JR Sanin Line to Kameoka station.
Walk southeast about 10minutes.




I arrive at Oomoto-Kyo gate.
Kameyama castle is in the religion of Oomoto-Kyo.
I enter from Oomoto-Kyo gate.


Walk 200m, I arrive at the Banshouden house.
I pray Oomoto-Kyo at this house.
Priest performs the ritual of Oharai.
After Oharai, I can enter this castle area.

I walk forward to the Castle.
Soon the gate is seen at righside.



Turn right, earthen wall and religion houses are existing.
I climb stone steps, but No admittance signboard is seen.

Walk forward, next stone steps are seen.
I climb 2 stone steps, No admittance signboard is also existing.
I can not climb Tenshukaku area of Kameyama Castle.


I take a picture.
I imagine Kameyama castle was big.



This Castle is a basic point for dominating Tanba area for Mitsuhide-Akechi.

Current Tenshukaku area has Stone Dome.
I can see the top of Stone Dome.


It is regret to not see the castle.
I imagine old Kameyama Castle.


I return to Banshouden, and go to botanical garden.


This garden has many plants.
From this garden, I can take a good picture of Castle stone steps.

Go forward, soon castle moat is seen.


This is the end of trip.

Kameoka Mitsuhide festival is held at May 3.


From Kyoto station, Kameoka city needs 40 minutes traffic access.
Please visit Kameyama Castle.

That's it.
