JounoueToride (1).JPG

History

One of many minor forts built by the Nishimaki Clan to protect their bases at Ota Yakata and Azumi Nishimaki Castle. The forts were built along a cliff overlooking a river plain.


Visit Notes

Jōnōe-toride's ruins are farmland now and have been cleared of undergrowth, so the shape of the old earthworks are easy to see from the roadside. The site offers views of the plain below, as it has since the time of the Nishimaki Clan, which is nice.
