The Castle that Vanished with the Gold: Dig Out the Buried Gold of Shirakawa-go

In Shirakawa Village, Gifu Prefecture, known for the World Heritage Site Shirakawa-go, there was a castle that disappeared with the gold. Its name is “Kaerikumo Castle. The last lord of the castle was Ujiri Uchigashima, a warlord of the Warring States period, who was defeated in a confrontation with Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who was then unifying the country, but for some reason his family was not destroyed. The reason for this is said to be that the family had several gold mines and a large store of gold. However, in November of Tensho 13 (January 1586), a huge earthquake caused a landslide. The castle was buried along with the gold. The amount of gold buried is said to have ranged from several hundred billion yen to two trillion yen!
The location of the castle had not been known until now, but TV Aichi's independent reporting uncovered new facts one after another! Finally, the location of the castle was identified and an unprecedented excavation project was launched! This is a superb historical excavation entertainment presented at the end of the first year of 2025!
