History

This was a original home castle of the Okami Clan, before moving to Ushiku Castle. Very little is known about the history of the castle, but it was likely abandoned after the Siege of Odawara in 1590.


Field Notes

I biked here from Ushiku Station. It appears that there are some busses that stop nearby but you still have to walk some distance to get here. The road into the castle site itself is not well marked either. I found it useful to check Google street view before going. There are some other minor related ruins (West Palace and South Palace) nearby but I was not aware of them for this visit. After Okami Castle, I also biked to the nearby Osaka Castle and then back to the station for Ushiku Castle and Torinji Castle.
