[About GOTO and this channel]
It's travel report by the channel of GOTO ISLANDS,which is the special channel literally focusing on the highlights of this magnificent archipelago of GOTO ISLANDS. GOTO ISLANDS, or GOTO RETTOU in Japanese, literally means 5 major islands of archipelago, is made up of 140 islands including ５major ones represented by FUKUE-jima island which is the largest one among them. GOTO RETTOU, on the east China sea,100 km off the coast of NAGASAKI city in western KYUSYU,abounds in many, many scenic and historic sites. In terms of scenic beauty,GOTO RETTOU is designated as SAIKAI National Park noted for its magnificent archipelago seascape. Additionally,in terms of historic sites, some places are designated as JAPAN HERITAGE(governmental designation),and others are registered on the tentative list of UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage!!
Accordingly, I think few places in Japan can rival this archipelago's wealth of historic and scenic sites.
So,that's why I decided to open this channel to send you travel report on this amazing archipelago by utilizing my knowledge as licensed guide.
[Today's topic]
In 1383,Uku Satoru,the 8th head of the Goto family(the powerful SAMURAI family of the local ruler),moved from the island of Uku and built a castle(means Shiro in Japanese) on the top of this mountain in this town of KISYUKU(岐宿町). So,that's why this place was named Shirodake(dake is general term means mountain). Japanese castles are roughly categorize into 3 types according to their location and functions. Specifically,HIRAJIRO(平城)castles in the plains, HIRAYAMAJIRO(平山城)hill top castles,and YAMAJIRO(山城)mountain top castles. This castle is defined as YAMAJIRO(山城),which was used mainly in the time of war; meanwhile they lived in a small village at the foot of this mountain in the time of peace. The main observatory commands the HASSAKU plateau(八朔台地),the wind power plant, and many islands including Naru island,and to the left,stretches the bay of SHIRAISHI(白石湾) noted for The hawser stone in SHIRAISHI(白石の艫綱石) previously reported in this channel. Incidentally,this observatory appears in the TripAdvisor as Shironotake Observation Deck. Farther up from this main observatory,there's a radio relay tower for cell phones,which also commands a fine view. So,please enjoy a panoramic view of northern Fukue island from another observatory on the tower in the program,Mt.Shirodake(城岳)#3(At the tower observatory)!! ????
