Field Notes
Taishō-jin is a hilltop jinsho (encampment) site in Iwamura Township of Ena Municipality. The site is maintained as a local park with various monuments, and it is designated as a local historical site. There are few signs of fortifications but the hillside has been terraced in places and there are flattened bailey spaces which presumably hosted the tents of the besieging army. The small hill gave a direct view of Iwamura Castle (now there are too many trees).
