Nakato Castle (Omi)
From Jcastle.info
This is a minor site. It seems there may be earthworks remaining, but these are on private property or otherwise buried beneath a tangle of bamboo. I felt there was little for me to accomplish here and moved on.
History
Nakatojō was built as an impermanent fort, or jinshiro (fortified encampment), by Shibata Katsuie in order to besiege Namazue Castle in 1573.
