Chofuku Castle
From Jcastle.info
There is only a small stone pillar to indicate a castle was here. There is some earthen embankment type structure across the street but it's not known for sure if it's from the castle or not.
History
Chofuku Castle was built as a midway fort between Gion Castle and Washi Castle. See the history of those two castles for more details.
