In the winter of 1180 (Jisho 4) at the end of the Heian period, at Takanawa Castle, located in the middle of the Seto Inland Sea, which was the sphere of influence of the Taira clan, Kono Michikiyo responded to Yoritomo and raised an army against the Taira clan. Due to his meritorious communication in the Genpei War, he established a sphere of influence in almost all of eastern Nakayo, Iyo Province, centered on Kono District, Kazahaya County. However, in the Jokyu Incident of 1221 (Jokyu 3), many of the Kono clan sided with the retired Emperor Gotoba and marched to Yamashiro Province, but were defeated, most of their territories were confiscated, and they were in a desperate situation. It was Michiari who got the family back on its feet. He challenged the Mongol invasion, fought bravely by charging into enemy ships in Hakata Bay, and recovered his former territory. He is said to be the "founder of the Kono clan's revival." The triumphant return of the Kono clan, Kono Michiari, who challenged the Mongol invasion, is now revived after 400 years! 16:10 Registration begins at the Kashima Ferry Waiting Room at Hojo Port16:30 Registration closes *Parking is at the individual's discretion16:50 Orientation begins17:03 Depart Hojo Port, arrive Kashima Port (change boats)17:10 Depart Kashima Port, view the Kono Navy Fleet, travel counterclockwise to view Tamari Island and Samudo Island, and circle Kashima (approximately 30-40 minutes)17:50 Return to Kashima Port, view the religious ceremony at Kashima Shrine / head to the dining venue just in time for the sunset / enjoy dinner outdoors (victory celebration)18:07 Sunset19:30 Depart Kashima Port, arrive Hojo Port, disband
