少年ジャンプ掲載でアニメも好評な「逃げ上手の若君」
なので実際、鎌倉時代末期の1333年や中先代の乱の1335年に新田義貞や諏訪頼重・北条時行が通った鎌倉街道を歩いてみました。
東京都府中市のJR府中本町駅から多摩川を越え、多摩市の聖蹟桜ヶ丘まで
・高安寺
当時武蔵国の中心である府中に建つ寺。足利尊氏が全国に建てた安国寺の一つだという話もあり、高安寺の「高」は足利高（尊）氏の「高」だとも言われます。多摩川河岸段丘際でかつては周囲を深い薬研堀で囲まれており度々鎌倉公方足利の陣所になりました
平将門を討ち取った藤原秀郷の館跡の伝承もあり境内に「秀郷稲荷」があります。
他には木曽義仲末裔で幕末の志士木曽源太郎の墓や弁慶硯の井なども
・分倍河原古戦場跡
1333年の元弘の変の時は新田義貞と鎌倉幕府軍が1335年の中先代の乱の際は諏訪頼重と北条時行が小山秀朝が戦った戦場
小山秀朝は小山芳姫さんの夫小山義政の祖父
・霞ノ関
和田義盛を滅ぼした和田合戦直後の1213年鎌倉防衛の為、北条義時が設置させた木戸跡、熊野神社に「霞ノ関南木戸柵跡」が残り柵跡が復元されてます。元弘の変の時は北条時行のおじ北条泰家が守っていましたが、新田義貞の大軍の前にあえなく敗退
聖蹟桜ヶ丘のあたりに関戸という地名が残りますが、この霞ノ関に因んでいるようです
・関戸城
遺構は開発の為ほとんど残っていません。1333年は北条泰家が守っていました。
また府中～聖蹟桜ヶ丘は「ちはやふる」「まちカドまぞく」「耳をすませば」の聖地なのでちょこっと見てみました

【Walking along the path taken by Nitta Yoshisada, Suwa Yorishige and Hojo Tokiyuki Fuchu - Bubaigawara - Seiseki Sakuragaoka】
Nigejyozu no Wakagimi, which was published in Shonen Jump and has a well-received anime.
So, in fact, I walked along the Kamakura Kaido, which Nitta Yoshisada, Suwa Yorishige and Hojo Tokiyuki passed through in 1333 at the end of the Kamakura Period and in 1335 during the Nakasosa Rebellion.
From JR Fuchu Honmachi Station in Fuchu City, Tokyo, across the Tama River to Seiseki Sakuragaoka in Tama City
【Koan-ji Temple】
A temple built in Fuchu, the centre of Musashi Province at the time. It is said to be one of the Ankoku-ji temples built by Ashikaga Takauji across the country, and the ‘Taka’ in Koan-ji Temple is said to be the ‘Taka’ of Ashikaga Takauji. The temple is located on the river terrace of the Tama River and used to be surrounded by a deep Yagenbori moat, which was often used as a military encampment by the Ashikaga lord of Kamakura (1185-1333).
There is a tradition of the remains of the mansion of Fujiwara Hidesato, who defeated Taira no Masakado, and there is a ‘Hidesato Inari’ within the precincts of the mansion.
There are also the tomb of Kiso Gentaro, a descendant of Kiso Yoshinaka and an aspirant at the end of the Edo period, and the Benkei inkstone well.
【The site of the old battlefield of Bubaikawara.】
The battlefield where Nitta Yoshisada and the Kamakura Shogunate forces fought during the Motohiro Incident in 1333, and where Suwa Yorishige and Hojo Tokiyuki fought during the NakasenDai Rebellion in 1335.
Oyama Hidetomo was the grandfather of Oyama Yoshimasa, husband of Oyama Yoshihime.
【Kasuminoseki】
The ruins of a wooden gate that Hojo Yoshitoki had installed for the defence of Kamakura in 1213, immediately after the Battle of Wada that destroyed Wada Yoshimori, and the ‘Kasuminoseki South wooden gate fence ruins’ remain at Kumano Shrine, where the fence ruins have been restored. At the time of the Motohiro Incident, Hojo Tokiyuki's uncle Hojo Yasuie was defending the area, but he was defeated in the face of Nitta Yoshisada's large army.
The name Sekido remains in the area around Seiseki Sakuragaoka, and seems to be associated with this Kasuminoseki.
Sekido Castle
The castle was defended by Hojo Yasuie in 1333.
Fuchu - Seiseki Sakuragaoka is also the holy land of ‘Chihayafuru’, ‘Machikado Mazoku’ and ‘Mimi wo Sumeba’, so we had a little look around.
