History

Little is known of the history of Haranomoto Castle but it is reckoned to have been built as a branch castle of Takami Castle.


Visit Notes

One of the many "cliff castles" bordering the plain of the Ina Valley, Haranomotojō is evident through remains such as dorui (earth-piled ramparts), karabori (dry moats) and kuruwa (baileys). The land is now given over to farming.
