The castle remains on a hill at an altitude of 30m that protrudes into the Ariake Sea. In the year of Gyeongsang 9 (1604), Arima Gizumi as a branch of the Hinoe Castle as a castle. At 1.3km north-south and 0.5km east-west, the site of the castle consisted of Honmaru, Ninomaru, Sannomaru, and Amakusa Maru, which were surrounded by stone walls, and was a castle using masonry techniques from the Sengoku period. The castle was abandoned in Gyeongsang 20 (1615) after the fall of the Christian daimy\u014d Arima Harunobu. In the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion (Shimabara Rebellion) of Kanei 14 (1637), about 37,000 people of the people were stuck for 88 days and fought against the shogunate forces of about 120,000 or more, after which they were wiped out. A number of shells, human bones, and crosses have been excavated from the castle site, and the Honekami Jizo, who collected and served a number of grave monuments and stone statues and bones said to belong to the great general of the riot, Shiro Amakusa, tells of the former tragedy. It is a country-designated historic site, and is also a constituent heritage of the World Cultural Heritage Site \"Hidden Christian Related Heritage of Nagasaki and the Amakusa Region\".<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":82906,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-149623","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spot"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/149623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/149623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
