History

It's unknown when the castle was established but it was likely built by the Ohmuro clan who were long time local lords. After the fall of the Takeda in 1582, the Ohmuro briefly switched allegiance to Nobunaga's ally Mori Nagayoshi. When Nobunaga died shortly afterwards the Ohmuro allied with Uesugi Kagekatsu. The castle was likely abandoned when the Ohmuro moved to Aizu with Uesugi Kagekatsu in 1598.


Field Notes

The castle is on the end of a ridge overlooking the plain where the Battles of Kawanakajima took place. It is a steep but short 10 minute climb to the top and well worth the visit. You don't find this extensive mountaintop stonework in such an accessible location elsewhere.
