SakurazakaueToride (6).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

The site of this former fort, Sakurazakaue-toride (Fort-upon-Cherry Blossom Hill), is now farmland. There are two trenches cutting into the carved slopes which delineate enclosures.
