notes: This is an intriguing site. First, it is not well known but has a tremendous amount of stonework remaining. It's also in an area rich with other quite high mountaintop castles. They could have built this castle on top of the mountain but chose a site closer to the bottom. Further, most of the stonework you see is not actually "castle" specifically but the terraced residences (yashiki) of retainers and samurai. The stone walls create a terraced village for living quarters and roads along the mountainside town. Even when you're not looking at stone wall remnants you are likely walking across stones from crumbled stone walls and pilings. The footing is actually poor in some places for all the small stones. The main bailey and second bailey are right at the highest point of the terraced village with additional high stone walls and a water moat carved from the bedrock to separate it from the rest of the town. Such terraced residences at the foot of the mountain with a castle at the peak are not a unique concept, but I have not seen this much stone work to support the terraces except at Azuchi castle of course. This would have been a really interesting place to visit in its prime. There is a well marked trail through the castle ruins but going off trail is easy and highly recommended to find a lot more of the interesting stonework. In early November, it was full of giant spider webs EVERYWHERE. I guess the site does not get many visitors. There were so many times when I was concentrating on taking photos that I backed into or walked through a spider web. I had to change lenses at one point because I got a piece of webbing stuck across my lens (thank goodness for UV protector filters and carrying an extra lens!). I was expecting Shelob to come bumbling out at some point. I also ran into a few snakes along the way. This place is like the Mirkwood of castles. This was my +1 castle after visiting Mikazuki Jin'ya. I was looking for something else interesting in the area an…
