　In the hilly area a few kilometers north of the center of Kikuchi City, there was Maruchi Castle with a ３ layer and a ８ square. In the large historical park where Maruchi Castle is located, there was a monument to the late Maruchi Castle. It was a large-scale monument, and it was made with the motif of guards. From this statue, you can see that Marichi Castle was a castle built to protect the country from Korea and China at that time.

　Marichi Castle is an ancient mountain castle built in preparation for the battle against Tang and Silla during the Asuka period. Marichi Castle was rebuilt in the hills in the northern part of Kumamoto Prefecture, and the area was a historical park. In the park, the monument of the late creation of Maruchi Castle was built in the Heisei ８ year as a symbol of Maruchi Castle. It is a fairly large mate, and it is an image of the shrine maiden who prays to yakatagatake on the east side, the wife and child of the guard on the front, the nobleman of Baekje who is said to have taught the construction of the castle on the west side, and the shrine maiden who prays to yakatagatake on the east side ...

It is an ancient mountain castle built on a plateau hill across Yamaga city and Kikuchi City, and the castle site is a monument in "historical park tsuruchi Jo Castle" designated as the national historic site "tsuruchi Jo Castle site" on February 27, 2004. It was built in the Heisei ８ year as a symbol of Maruchi Castle. It's better to see this monument as a tourist spot you see when you come to "Historical Park Marichi Castle" rather than coming to this place.

It is a monument in the ruins of Maruchi Castle that I experienced for the first time in mid-March. The composition is the pedestal ＋ group image. The breakdown of the group is the guardian and his family, the shrine maiden, the exile aristocrat from Baekje, and the phoenix. If you read the tourist information beside the monument, you can get a better understanding of the situation on the Korean Peninsula at the time when Marichi Castle was built. It's not a historic building, but it's recommended.

this is the monument of the wajin and the baekje.

Marichi Castle Ruins Park, Octagonal Drum Tower At first glance, I got a strong impression. It is an unfamiliar figure in Japan. Originally, it seemed that two buildings were built in a row, and there was a cornerstone ruin beside them. If you look at history, the "Battle of Shiramurae" in 663 is the key. Japan (at that time Hayato) supported Baekje, which was invaded by the Tang and Silla Allied forces, because of its friendly relationship with Baekje on the Korean Peninsula. There was a history, and it was produced with Baekje engineers.
