Visit Notes
There's really not much to see here except the outlines of some trenches and an earthen embankment. Most of the grounds are the temple or private property so it's a bit difficult to gif good places for photos. This is an easy stop on the way to Karasawayama Castle and there is a hiking course that actually takes you from the opposite side of the station up to the castle, but it is a slightly longer route than the typical one from Tanuma Station.
遺構は土塁と空堀がありますが城域のほとんどが寺と私有地のためにやや入りずらいし、良い写真も撮れません。唐沢山城のついでに訪れたらいかがでしょうか。駅の反対側から登城のコースもあります。
