History

Nakatojō was built as an impermanent fort, or jinshiro (fortified encampment), by Shibata Katsuie in order to besiege Namazue Castle in 1573.


Visit Notes

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.
