Visit Notes

Lots of pocket terracing along the ridge line, gate remains, trenches and integral baileys can be found at Iwasakijō. There area is now in part a cedar plantation I think. The layout of the fort can be made out fairly well (have you noticed that not much grows in a cedar monoculture?), so I was quite pleased with this little earthworks ruin. Also the trail has great views of Togura and I could just make out the reconstructions at Arato Castle.
