本山城：長宗我部元親と土佐中央の覇権を巡って争った本山茂辰の居城本山城【お城特集日本の歴史】

[Castle name]
Motoyama Castle
It was lived in by Motoyama Shigetoki, who fought with Chosokabe Motochika for the center of Tosa.

[Description]
Motoyama Castle used to stand in current Motoyama, Motoyama Town, Nagaoka District, Kochi Prefecture. It was lived in by the Motoyama family.
In the Warring States period, the head Motoyama Shigetoki moved to Asakura Castle to invade the center of Tosa Prefecture. He fought hard with Chosokabe Motochika of Okayama Castle for the area.

Finally, in the repeating battles, he couldn’t afford to resist to Motochika. He burned Asakura Castle and went back to Motoyama Castle.
After Shigetoki died, his nephew Motoyama Chikashige succeeded him. Motochika continued attacking. At last, the Motoyama family surrendered and joined the Chosokabe family.
