Tsukii Castle Ruins / Tsukii Kannon-do
The ruins of Tsukiore Castle are located on the summit of Mt. Tsukiore at an altitude of 404m. The construction of Tsukiore Castle is said to be during the Oei era (1394-1424). Being involved in the battle for leadership of Koga Kubō, his vassals guarded the castle when Mr. Satake was dispatched. In the 7th year of Keicho (1602), the castle owner accompanied Mr. Satake to the transfer of Akita, so Tsukiore Castle, which lost the owner, was abandoned. Nowadays, a stone monument is erected, and you can spend a quiet time in the sunlight through the trees.
Tsukii Kannon-do is said to have been built in 807. It is said that in the 3rd year of Eiho (1083), when Minamoto no Yoshiie conquered Oshu, he stayed overnight in this temple and prayed for victory.
