Road used in the Battle of Itsukushima

Along with Oda Nobunaga’s Battle of Okehazama and Minamoto no Yoshitsune’s Battle of Hiyodorigoe, the Battle of Itsukushima is one of Japan’s three famous surprise battles.

In 1553,Mori Motonari launched an army to kill Harukata Sue, who betrayed Yoshitaka Ouchi and killed him.

Mori Motonari planned a surprise attack against Sue’s army because his military strength was inferior.

The Mori army, which was outnumbered, concentrated the Sue army on the narrow Miyajima, built a castle in Miyanoo, lured the Sue army, and planned a surprise attack there.

October 1, 1555

The Mori army numbered 3,500, compared to the 20,000 troops of the Sue army.

The Mori army landed at Tsutsumigaura in a storm with the support of the Murakami navy.

Then he crossed over “Bakuchio” and attacked the main camp of the Sue army at once.

The army was routed and fled to Oenoura, but Harukata Sue, realizing that he committed suicide.

The mountain road that Mori army passed in this battle is the “Bakuchio” introduced this time!

Where is the entrance to “Bakuchio”

There are two routes to Bakuchio!

One is from Tsutsumigaura, where Mori started his climb.

If you want to feel the path taken by Mori, you should go up to Tsutsumigaura!

The second the route from Momijidani Park.

This one follows the first route in reverse.

Tsutsumigaura is behind Miyajima, so if you think It’s a little far away, we recommend starting here!
