- National Historic Site + (Castles that have been Nationally designat … Castles that have been Nationally designated as historical landmarks by the Ministry of Education. This is an ever changing category as you sometimes see castles newly registered as National Historic Sites. If a site had been previously designated as a [[Prefectural Historic Site]] at the prefecture level and is then named so at the National level, then the prefectural designation is removed. Historical landmarks to be considered for national recognition should be important sites to the understanding of Japanese history and hold sufficient interest for academic and research purposes. While it's not officially part of the process, my understanding from people who have been involved with the process is that there is also much burden on the local municipality to prove that historical significance and they need to make some commitment to protecting and preserving a site for it to gain such recognition.ng a site for it to gain such recognition.)

- Pre Edo Period + (Castles that were only active prior to the … Castles that were only active prior to the Edo Period come from a very different time of castle construction. The Edo Period saw the introduction of the "One Castle per Province" edict which forced the abandonment of thousands of castles throughout Japan. Castles prior to the Edo Period tended to be a part of a wider castle network. There would have been a central home castle where the provincial lord may lived and ruled and there was also a large network of small castles that would protect the borders, watch over major roads, serve as smoke signal forts, or may have simply been created and generally left empty except when needed in a time of unrest. </br></br>Any castle with this designation is probably smaller in scale, often on a mountaintop, and is unlikely to have any buildings. These sites will be of more interest to history fans, castle fans, and those who want to understand a specific area better. </br></br>This category also includes some of the ancient castles such as the Josaku sites ((e.g. [[Shiwa Castle]], [[Taga Castle]])) in Northeastern Japan and the early fortifications in Western Japan such as those at [[Kinojo]] and [[Ono Castle]]. I will likely separate these out into other categories at some point.e out into other categories at some point.)
