3 Castles and 5 Forts Of Okehazama
2020/08/10
This update brings you three of the Imagawa castles related to the Battle of Okehazama and 5 of Nobunaga's forts that were built around Narumi Castle and Odaka Castle
Kutsukake Castle was the castle from which Imagawa Yoshimoto departed on his way to meet Nobunaga's forces. It's a fair distance away from the other sites in this update but has, by far, the most extensive remains to see today.
Odaka Castle and the two nearby forts are in fairly good condition and have good parks and ruins to see with a history trail linking the three sites. Narumi Castle and the three forts nearby have been mostly developed over. There are a couple small city parks and/or temples but it's really just a sign noting the location and a little bit of history.
Regardless of whether there are extensive ruins to see or not, visiting these sites together are part of the experience of visiting the Okehazama Battlefield. Walk between the castles and nearby forts to understand the distance. Thinking about the location and distance adds an important aspect to better understand history than merely reading about in a book or studying a map.
There are many more sites to see around Okehazama including the battlefield itself (which I did not visit) and some other more minor forts and castles should you have time. Honestly, this day trip was not well planned. I had more time in Nagoya than expected and mostly put it together on-the-fly.
