Kaize Castle (Saku)

No ruins remain of this site which is now a large library and other public facilities. However, the vantage point on a clifftop is good and it's easy to appreciate why a fort would've been built here.

History

The castle is thought to have been related to the Tate Clan, a branch of the Nei Clan.
