Notes: useful information about visiting the site, impressions, etc that are not entered elsewhere	Initially I wasn't going to bother with Kōzuke-Niiyajō even though it's quite close to Asabajō, but I had just enough time to come back and visit after visiting other sites in the area which took my fancy. Niiyajō is, like Asabajō, on a frond of high elevation projecting into the plain below, but the site is used as farmland and the earthworks are sadly far too overgrown to even begin to explore. I guessed there may be karabori (dry moat) and dorui (earthen rampart) ruins, but these were too obscurred to positively identify.
History:	Niiyajō was built as a twin castle with Asabajō by the Shirakura Clan. Collectively, both casles are sometimes called together as Shirakurajō. See [[Asaba Castle]] for more information.
