I saw this hilltop site from Kōnominejō (Kounomine Castle); Nagayamajō is now a park. No ruins remain, other than the general shape of the castle mount itself perhaps. There is an explanation board about the castle.
History
It is not known when Nagayamajō was first constructed, but in 1588 the Mōri Clan installed Jinbo Mototada as castellan. In 1596 Nagayamajō was expanded under Mōri Hidemoto as his residence. In 1600, following the Battle of Sekigahara, the Mōri's territory was reduced and Mōri Hidemoto moved to Kushizakijō in Chōfu.
Interestingly, from 1900 the site of Nagayamajō became a sculpture park full of statues of Mōri clansmen. They were melted down for their materials during the war, but the one of Mōri Tadachika was rebuilt in 1980.
Field Notes
I saw this hilltop site from Kōnominejō (Kounomine Castle); Nagayamajō is now a park. No ruins remain, other than the general shape of the castle mount itself perhaps. There is an explanation board about the castle.
