Field Notes
Mizusawa-yashiki is a fortified residence site in the Kinebuchi area of Shinonoi Township, Nagano Municipality. Access to the site is limited as it is now private property and used as farmland, but it is believed that the sunken fields in an angular configuration around a corner of raised earth represent where the residence stood with its surrounding moats. I also found a small side path which went to an old local well.
