「なせば成る、なさねば成らぬ何事も、成らぬは人のなさぬなりけり」
でお馴染みの上杉鷹山が藩主を務めた城跡でもあります。
私の格言でもあるこの名言を残した鷹山公に会いに米沢を訪れた映像です。
戦国時代、この地は伊達氏の本拠地であり伊達政宗が誕生した地でもあります。
会津へ越後国より上杉景勝が入封した際、直江兼続がここ米沢城主となりました。関ヶ原の戦いの敗戦後は、減封された上杉家は、この米沢城へ居城を移すこととなります。以後、明治維新まで米沢藩上杉氏の居城でした。
現在、米沢城と上杉神社は、有名人気戦国武将との関わりの深さから、武将たちを偲ぶ歴史ファンが集う観光名所となっています。
米沢城跡は、2017年に続日本100名城に選定。

At the site of Yonezawa Castle in the center of downtown Yonezawa, the Uesugi Shrine now stands. Uesugi Kenshin, the founder of the Yonezawa Uesugi clan, is enshrined in this shrine.
This is also the site of the castle where Uesugi Youzan, known for his famous saying, “If you try to do, it can be achieved, if you don’t, it will never be achieved. Achieving nothing is due to one’s own intention to not try”
This is a video of my visit to Yonezawa to see Youzan, who left behind this famous saying, which is also one of my favors sayings.
During the Warring States period, this area was the home of the Date clan and the birthplace of Date Masamune.
When Uesugi Kagekatsu arrived in Aizu from Echigo, Naoe Kanetsugu became the lord of Yonezawa Castle. After the defeat at the Battle of Sekigahara, the Uesugi clan was reduced in size and moved their residence to Yonezawa Castle. After that, it was the residence of the Uesugi clan of the Yonezawa domain until the Meiji Restoration.
Today, Yonezawa Castle and Uesugi Shrine are tourist attractions where history buffs gather to remember the warlords due to their close relationship with the popular warlords.
The ruins of Yonezawa Castle were selected as one of Continued the 100 best castles in Japan in 2017.
