Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Inuyama castle. The coordinates indicate the Inuyama castle tower. But there is no catche as this is a mystery cache.

Q_d) 
In the Middle Ages of Japan, the area of Aichi Prefecture was ruled by the Oda clan. However, the Oda clan was fighting with each other. Oda Nobunaga, who later aimed for Japanese hegemony, struck down Inuyama Castle, ruled by his cousin, to unify Aichi Aria. That is the first fall of Inuyama Castle.
When did it happen? (Note the year when the ruler's family name changes from Oda.)
5.
 1547
6. 1564
7. 1581
Q_e) 
Instead of Nobunaga, who died shortly before becoming the supreme ruler of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, aiming for hegemony, struck down Inuyama Castle. That is the second fall of Inuyama Castle.
The military commander under Hideyoshi who became the castle owner after this fall is the same person as the castle owner after the first fall_ Q_d). Who is he?
3.
 Ikeda Nobuteru
4. Nakagawa Sadanari
5. Katō Yasukage
Q_f) 
After the third castle fall, Tokugawa Ieyasu eventually became the supreme ruler of Japan. The castle owner changed several times, but since Naruse Masanari under Ieyasu became the castle owner, the Naruse family has been the castle owner for a long time.
How long did the Naruse family own this castle? (attention to the no owners period.)
0.
 363 total years
1. 388 total years
2. 401 total years

As above Inuyama Castle fell three times, but remains intact without being destroyed.
Because it was a very valuable castle for the attacked side.

犬山城へようこそ。公開座標は犬山城の天守閣を示していますが、キャッシュはここにはありません。

2. 5階
3. 地上4階、地下2階
問題b) 最上階に4つある窓は、

問題c) 1891年、城に大きなダメージを与えた天災は?
7. 火災
8. 台風
9. 地震
問題d) 信長が尾張統一の最後に落とした城が、従弟が治める犬山城ですが、それは何年の事だったでしょう。
5. 1547年
6. 1564年
7. 1581年
問題e) 
小牧・長久手の戦いで豊臣方によって犬山城は2度目の落城を経験しますが、この落城の後城主となったのは問題d)の信長尾張統一後に城主になったのと同じ武将です。それは誰でしょう。
3. 池田恒興
4. 中川定成
5. 加藤泰景
問題f) 三度目の落城の後、尾張徳川家の家老として最も長い期間この城の主だった成瀬家がこの城を所有していた年数は?(所有者なしの期間を忘れないで!)
0. 延べ363年間
1. 延べ388年間
2. 延べ401年間

このように犬山城は尾張三英傑によってそれぞれ1度ずつ、3度の落城を経験しますが、焼け落とされることなく今に残っています。犬山城の利用価値の高さ故、と言う事ではないでしょうか。
