Field Notes

Following along the ridge from Tsubokasayama Castle you can easily reach Mikoshiyama Castle. It has one central bailey at the mountaintop and some smaller sub baileys or flattened areas along the ridge leading towards Tsubokasayama Castle. It also has two small bits of stonework remnants. I think I missed one, but caught it on the edge of one photo.
