Field Notes
There are no signs or trails here, unlike Funayama Castle across the road. You need to just scramble up the cliffside to get there.

Funayama Castle and Tenjinyama Castle are two minor castle ruins from the Battle of Koriyama around the side of Koriyama Castle at the end of a ridge connecting to Koriyama Castle. A kiritoshi, or road was cut away through the mountain ridge at this point and a small castle was built on either side of it for the Battle of Koriyama. I did not know about these castles until I visited the Akitakata City Museum. I had run out of time to visit Goryu Castle, so I walked the 1km over here around the side of Koriyama Castle to visit Funayama Castle and Tenjinyama Castle next to it.
