Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

舞鶴橋を渡り本丸跡に入って左手、史跡上杉謙信公祠堂跡の標柱があり、丸石を組合せた石段を登って行きます。高台になった広場があり、柵に囲まれた祠堂跡碑と招魂碑がありました。祠堂跡碑の先に天高く招魂碑が建っていました。戊辰・西南戦争で戦死した将兵を慰霊するために建立、その後、日清・日露戦争の戦死者も合祀されているそうです。

戊辰戦争と西南戦争で亡くなった米沢藩士の慰霊碑です。4月中旬に訪れましたが、桜の花が招魂碑の周りに咲き誇り、英霊も穏やかに花見をしているようで厳粛な気持ちになりました。

山形から足を伸ばして米沢へ行った際、米沢城跡建っているこちらの碑を目にしました。明治維新のころ、戊辰戦争や西南戦争で戦死した方を慰霊する石碑です。他の町でも見かけますが、新しい政府との関係もあってとりわけ顕彰する必要があったのかもしれません。

松岬公園(米沢城跡)の東南隅の高台に建っています。
戊辰戦争および西南戦争で戦死した郷土の人を慰霊する石碑ですね。

このような慰霊碑は城跡や神社で見かけますが、ここの慰霊碑は石碑に書かれた文字の太さは迫力があり精魂を込めたものでした。
石碑は凝灰岩で、高さ3.4m、台座含めた総高さは5.8mもある大きな石碑です。

非常にひっそりした場所ですが、すぐ脇に上杉謙信の遺骸を安置していた御堂が建っていた所と説明がありました。いろんな意味で魂の籠る場所ですね。

サイクリング一人旅で立ち寄りました。
慰霊碑ですが、周りでは花見をしておりとても明るく賑やかです。桜も満開で綺麗です。

米沢城址の一角、謙信公の遺骸を安置した御堂があった所に建立された慰霊碑です。戊辰戦争や西南の役、はたまた日清・日露戦争の戦死者を慰霊するために建てられています。台座を含めた高さ5.8mの大きな碑ですが、隅っこの少し高台にあるため人はほとんど見かけませんでした。

米沢城跡のなかの小高い場所に立つ慰霊碑です。

米沢城跡に大きな石の招魂碑がありました。戊申戦争、西南戦争、日清戦争、日露戦争、その戦火で亡くなった魂を慰霊しています。戦争は多くの人の命を奪う、悲惨な出来事だと思い知らされました。

米沢城址の本丸跡上杉謙信公祠堂の横に建つ慰霊碑。幕末の戊辰戦争、明治期の西南の役で戦死した郷土の忠臣を慰霊する石碑、明治11年に建てられた高さ340cm,一辺143cm,台座を合わせると5.8mの高さになる大きな石碑です。このような人々がいて今があるという感が起こります。

西南戦争など米沢郷土の志士の霊を祀る慰霊碑です。米沢城址の近くにあるのですぐにはわかると思います。一度足を止めて解説文をじっくり読んでみるといいと思います。
