|NewsBody=The second update of my personal castle visits jumps from the first castle of 2020 back in time to the first castle visit of 2019, [[Iwadono Castle]].  This is a site I had wanted to visit for a long time, but I was waiting for a perfect weather winter day for the great views of Mt. Fuji. At some point the trails got closed due to erosion from heavy rains and my wait extended to a couple years. Unfortunately, in August 2019 the trails were again closed due to a rockslide and remain closed today. See the [[Iwadono Castle]] profile for more details. I was very lucky to visit when I did and get these great photos of both the castle ruins and Mt. Fuji. 

From Iwadono, I also visited nearby home castle of the Oyamada family, [[Yamura Castle]] and it's mountain fortress, [[Katsuyama Castle (Tsuru)|Katsuyama Castle]] just across the river.
