Ichijo-dani Asakura Site
The Ichijodani Asakura Clan Ruins is a valuable archaeological site where the remains of the castle town ruled by the Asakura clan during the Sengoku period have been excavated in nearly complete form. For this reason, it is also referred to as the "Pompeii of Japan." Alongside Kyoto's Kinkaku-ji and Hiroshima's Itsukushima Shrine, it has been designated a special historical site, special scenic spot, and an important cultural property. Around the ruins, a reconstructed town resembling the castle town of that time is open to the public, allowing visitors to enjoy an experience as if they have time-traveled back to the Sengoku period. Those interested in history, as well as those who are not, will surely be captivated by its historical romance.
