Remains of destroyed Toyotomi Hideyoshi castle in Kyoto uncovered for first time mainichi.jp

One researcher told the Mainichi Shimbun, "To have the stone walls and other remains actually confirmed (as part of Kyoto Shinjo) is hugely significant."
Kyoto Shinjo was constructed in the second year of Keicho (1597), and built to connect to the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
In 1597 Hideyoshi entered Kyoto Shinjo with his son Toyotomi Hideyori, and it is believed a coming-of-age ceremony was held for him at the palace.
In keeping with his father's wishes, Hideyori relocated to Osaka Castle, and Hideyoshi's official wife Kita no Mandokoro lived at Kyoto Shinjo.
He added, "It matches written accounts that the stone walls were destroyed before the Battle of Sekigahara.
