is a Japanese castle located in Tateyama, southern Chiba Prefecture, Japan. At the end of the Edo period, Tateyama Castle was home to the Inaba clan, ''daimyō'' of Tateyama Domain, but the castle is better known for its association with the former rulers of Awa Province, the Satomi clan. The castle was also known as . == History == Satomi Yoshiyori, virtually independent lord of all of the Bōsō Peninsula during the Sengoku Period, erected Tateyama Castle in 1580 to guard the entry to Edo Bay and the southern portions of his domains. After the Satomi clan was destroyed by the Tokugawa shogunate in 1614 and Tateyama Domain suppressed, the castle was allowed to fall into ruin. In 1781, the domain was reinstated, with Inaba Masaaki as the first daimyō of Tateyama Domain under the Inaba clan. He rebuilt the fortifications of the old castle, but apparently did not erect a donjon, as his successor, Inaba Masatake was only allowed to build a ''jinya'' fortified residence. The Inaba clan remained in residence at Tateyama until the Meiji Restoration. The current ''donjon'' was reconstructed in 1982 to boost local tourism and to function as an annex to the local Tateyama City Museum. As there are no surviving records indicating the appearance of the original ''donjon'', the current structure was modeled after Inuyama Castle. The interior is devoted primarily to exhibits pertaining to the epic novel ''Nanso Satomi Hakkenden'', by Edo period author Takizawa Bakin. The surrounding is a popular local spot for bird-watching, and for sakura blossoms in spring. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tateyama Castle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
