Thanks again for everyone's recent contributions. It's good to see we're not getting cabin fever in all this corona-craziness. I'll have some updates of my own starting in a few days. Keep a watch here or on Facebook for future updates!

The ruins of Futôyamajō consist of the north castle and south castle. The trail leads to a trench between the two. The ruins each contain the remains of dorui (earthen ramparts), kuruwa (baileys) and hori (trenches). The north ruin contains a yaguradai (turret platform). Though inspecting the ruins necessarily requires re-tracing all of one’s steps, it doesn’t take long to walk throughout the whole site.
Update (2025):
I passingly revisited the ruins of Futôyamajō, not something one often does for yamajiro, their being on mountains, but this was because I wanted to hike to Kamahajō via its satellite fort of Shōbudakejō. This took me longer than using roads to enter Banba valley, but it was more fun to hike than traipse on asphalt for an hour. Shōbudake is south of Futôyamajō and it takes about forty-five to fifty-five minutes to go between. I mostly only covered the souther portion of Futôyamajō going through, but I also discovered a suspected trench to the south which I did not venture far enough to find during my first visit.
I've added pictures of the rear trench and earthen bridge complex.Hatsuzawa Castle / 初沢城

Takekuma Castle (Hitachi) / 常陸武熊城
Urizura Castle / 瓜連城
Yorii Castle (Hitachi) / 常陸寄居城
