The
reason
why
I
visited
here
is
that
Mr.
Yasuda,
who
was
unable
to
pass
the
exam
last
time
at
the
Japanese
history
location
where
he
took
the
exam
"How
about
Wednesday",
participated
as
revenge,
and
played
the
leading
role
of
"Torii
Suneemon"
in
the
class
skit
here
at
Nagashino
Castle
Ruins.
Because
I
wanted
to
go
somewhere.
The
place
where
Oizumi,
Suzui,
and
Yasuda
performed
the
skit
was
located
on
top
of
the
earthen
walls,
and
I
was
able
to
find
it
almost
as
it
was
at
the
time.
About
20
years
have
passed
since
then,
and
I
feel
that
the
crucifixion
signboard
of
"Sunemon
Torii"
has
become
brand
new,
red,
and
more
cartoonish.
The
Nagashino
Castle
Ruins
is
a
natural
fortress
and
is
located
on
a
triangular
cliff
at
the
confluence
of
the
Uregawa
and
Toyokawa
rivers.
You
can
see
the
whole
scene
from
"Ushibuchi
Bridge"
hanging
over
Toyokawa.
A
castle
that
played
an
important
role
as
a
strategic
point
connecting
Shinshu,
Mikawa,
and
Totomi,
where
the
Imagawa,
Takeda,
and
Tokugawa
clashes
took
place.
In
1573,
after
the
death
of
Takeda
Shingen,
Nagashino
Castle
became
Tokugawa's
possession.
In
May
1575,
Katsuyori
Takeda
led
15,000
soldiers
to
surround
Nagashino
Castle,
which
his
father
also
wanted.
The
place
where
the
impregnable
"Nagashino
Castle"
that
led
to
the
"Battle
of
Nagashino"
and
"Battle
of
Shitaragahara"
was
located.
I
was
reminded
of
Japanese
history
on
the
"How
about
Wednesday"
exam,
and
my
wish
to
visit
was
finally
fulfilled.
I
was
told
that
there
was
a
castle
with
solid
defenses
typical
of
the
Warring
States
period,
but
the
area
was
smaller
than
I
thought,
and
I
was
impressed
that
only
500
people
fought.
The
Okudaira
family,
who
originally
served
the
Tokugawa
clan,
decided
that
Nobumasa
Okudaira
would
return
to
the
Tokugawa
side
after
the
death
of
Shingen
TAKEDA,
and
Katsuyori
executed
three
hostages
of
Nobumasa
Okudaira's
family.
That
resentment
and
stubbornness
must
have
inspired
the
young
military
commander.
And
the
success
of
``Torii
Suneemon''
Churetsu,
who
played
an
important
role
in
Oda
and
Tokugawa
reinforcements,
will
save
the
Okudaira
army.
It
is
a
deeply
moving
place
where
the
legend
of
one
man's
loyalty
and
the
way
of
life
of
warlords
who
fought
their
way
through
the
anguish
of
the
Sengoku
period
are
transmitted.
There
is
a
very
large
tree
near
the
original
Torii
Shrine
on
the
premises.
Did
you
see
those
days
while
looking
up?
It's
a
big
tree
that
seems
to
be.
The
site
of
Suneemon
Torii's
crucifixion
is
located
on
the
opposite
bank
across
the
Toyokawa
River.
If
you
are
interested,
please

any
of
them.

ここを訪れた理由は、『水曜どうでしょう』試験に出る日本史ロケ地で前回試験卒業できなかった安田さんがリベンジで参加し、ここ長篠城址で授業寸劇の主役『鳥居強右衛門』を演じたところに行きたかったため。
大泉、鈴井、安田が寸劇を繰り広げた場所は土塁の上にあり、ほぼ当時のままの姿がありすぐに見つけることが出来ました。
あれから20年ほど経過して、『鳥居強右衛門』磔の図看板は真新しくなって赤く、より漫画チックになったような気がします。
長篠城址は自然の要害で宇連川、豊川の合流点の三角形の断崖の上にあります。
豊川に掛かる『牛渕橋』からその全容を眺めることが出来ます。
信州と三河、遠江をつなぐ要衝として重要な役割を担った城で今川、武田、徳川がせめぎ合った場所。
1573年、武田信玄死去後に長篠城は徳川の手に。
1575年5月武田勝頼は父も欲しかった長篠城を堕とすため15,000名の兵を率いて取り囲んだが、当時の徳川方長篠城城主、二十歳の奥平信昌勢は、わずか500名で善戦し有名な『長篠の合戦』『設楽原の合戦』につなげた難攻の『長篠城』があった場所。
『水曜どうでしょう』試験に出る日本史で再認識し是非とも訪れてみたかった念願が叶いました。
戦国時代の典型的な防御を固めた城があったとのことですが、思ったよりも面積が小さく、よくぞわずか500名で戦ったなと感心しました。
元々徳川に仕えていた奥平家は武田信玄死後に奥平信昌は徳川方に帰参すると決断、勝頼は奥平信昌の家族人質3名を処刑する。
その恨みと意地が若い武将を奮い立たせたのでしょう。
そして、織田、徳川援軍に重要な役目を果たした『鳥居強右衛門』忠烈の活躍が奥平勢を救うことになる。
一人の忠義伝説や戦国時代に苦悩の中での戦い抜いた武将の生き様が伝わる感慨深い場所である。
敷地内に元あった鳥居神社近くに、とても大きな木があります。
見上げながら、当時を見たんだろうか？と思えるような大木です。
鳥居強右衛門磔の場は、豊川挟んで対岸にあります。
興味のある方は、いずれも是非訪れてみてください。
