History

Refer to Nakao Castle for details on the routes into the castle.

Taking the trail from behind the Kyoto Korean School, you will find a few small flattened areas or baileys while ascending the slope but much of the castle has been heavily eroded over time. The main bailey has a good section of an earthen embankment around it. To the Northwest of the main bailey behind the embankment is a steep drop into another large bailey with some large stones and another huge embankment (kirigishi/dorui). This section in particular has some good views of the area and helps to justify the theory that it was used to watch over the Yamanaka-goe pass. This area was the highlight for me but seems to be missed by many other castle visitors.
