Muraoka Castle (Ina)
From Jcastle.info
Murokajō is an earthworks fort ruin with features such as dorui (earthen ramparts), hori (trenches) and terracing of the hillside. I saw a tanuki here.

History
It is supposed that Muraoka Castle was a satellite fortifcation of Koidejō. Both castle sites are located on a corner of cliff between the Tenryūgawa alluvial plain and a smaller river flowing into it. Koidejō, the main base of the Koide Clan, is set further back whilst Muraokajō overlooks the Tenryū River. For more information see Ina Koide Castle.
