Ohkubo Castle (Ina)

From Jcastle.info

Ôkubojō is now the site of a house with a large garden, which is private property. On either side of the plot trenches are evident but they are overgrown and hard to see. The road runs in what was formerly a dry moat. The white blossom shown marks the castle's second bailey, which is now a field.
