Field Notes

Wakimoto Castle is one of the "Continued Top 100 Castles and the last of the three great Ando castles for me to post (See also Hiyama Castle and Minato Castle). The castle is on a hilltop along the coast of the Oga Peninsula. Across the hilltop are several terraced baileys of living quarters. The outer baileys were also encircled by an earthen embankment. Typically these embankments are for defensive purposes, but when I was here on this very windy day I noticed that they also make a great wind block. Given the location of this castle on a notoriously cold and windy peninsula I can only think that these embankments were more for fighting back the wind and snow than fighting back attackers !
