NewsBody:	This update brings 11 new castles, mostly mountain castles, from [[Kyoto]] and a minor update to [[Sonobe Castle]] (already well documented by others!). Similar to Tokyo and Osaka, Kyoto is not just the city of Kyoto but it is also a prefecture that is much larger than the city itself with many other cities and municipalities. The area is very rich in castles and castle ruins from the well known [[Tanba Kameyama Castle\|Kameyama Castle]] and [[Fukuchiyama Castle]] to lesser known but brilliant castle sites like [[Shuzan Castle]] and [[Yagi Castle]]. Many of these castles were critical to the early campaigns of Nobunaga to move West of Kyoto as championed by Akechi Mitsuhide to secure a base around Kyoto and to pacify the Tanba Region. A few years ago Kyoto started the "Another Kyoto" tourism campaign, part of which is a castle theme for the "Woodland Kyoto" area. This update brings 3 more of those castles to the site. Many of them are in remote or difficult to reach locations by public transportation so I can only do 1 in a day but when I visit them I usually pick up some other nearby castle(s) along the way. Recently added [[Kanbayashi Castle]] and [[Yamaga Jin'ya]] are part of this campaign too. Awhile back I added a little section to my [[Castles of Kyoto]] page to keep track of these sites with some more information and I've been slowly adding links to the recommended castles as I visit them. Visit the [[Castles of Kyoto]] page for more details. Finally, I tried something new with a few castles here. I put a small version of the castle map in the notes section. It will appear above the map with pinned photos and below the description which I typically put in the "Visit Notes" section so it might help to better understand the description and castle as a whole. If this is useful I may try to make this more common, but only if there is a value added GOOD map to use (good map from a signboard or other copyright free source).
