Le Château de Tsuruga (鶴ヶ城) a été érigé en 1384 et détruit lors des rébellions amenant à la Restauration Meiji en 1868. Ce dernier a été reconstruit en 1965 sous sa forme initiale.

Byakkotai (白虎隊), Le Bataillon Tigre Blanc

Il s’agissait d’un groupe de presque 300 jeunes hommes ayant combattu lors des événements de la Guerre Boshin contre le gouvernement Meiji. Le Bataillon Tigre Blanc était initialement une unité de réserve mais lorsque la guerre éclata chaque homme fut mis a contribution.

Le bataillon fut séparé lors des événements et un groupe de 20 jeunes hommes virent de la fumée s’échapper du Château de Tsuruga. Pensant que le château était tombé entre les mains de l’ennemi et que leur chef était mort, ils décidèrent de mettre fin à leur jour par ‘Harakiri’ (腹切, rituel où on se donne la mort en se tranchant le ventre). Sur les 20 jeunes, un seul survécu, sauvé par un local. Aujourd’hui encore vous pouvez encore voir une statue de ces guerriers à la Colline Iimori.

Spécialités d’Aizu-Wakamatsu : Wappameshi et Katsudon



Le Château de Tsuruga est le symbole de la ville d’Aizu-Wakamatsu et est aussi une destination appréciée des touristes. Depuis la reconstruction du château dans les années 60 le dernier étage accueille un musée retraçant l’histoire des lieux. Vous pourrez y voir armures de samurai, katanas, kimonos d’époque et autres artefacts de l’Epoque Edo (1603-1868).

N’oubliez pas de jeter un oeil à l’histoire de Yae Niijima, une jeune femme d’une vingtaine d’années qui se travestissait pour se battre au côté des hommes lors de la guerre contre le gouvernement Meiji! Elle a également participé énormément dans la communauté, se dévouant comme infirmière dans d’autres guerres. C’est également pour cela qu’elle est devenue le personnage officiel de la préfecture de Fukushima.

Passez donc par Fukushima pour vous frotter à l’Histoire du Japon.
