The Tsume-no-maru is essentially the Hagi equivalent of a Tsume-no-shiro or "mountain redoubt" that we often see with Sengoku Period castles. The top of the mountain is a defensive ring of watchtowers and walls. It not only creates a last ditch defense but allows the Mori to carefully watch over all approaches to th castle from the most defensible positions. Combined with the main castle itself, this creates a single, expansive complex that is both highly defensible and truly distinctive to Hagi. While we do have some comparably sized big Hilltop castles like Iyo Matsuyama Castle that seem to mimic a similar structure, the significant difference is that for Iyo Matsuyama Castle the main keep and honmaru are at the top of the mountain.
