History
Washizu Fort was one of the main forts built around Odaka Castle to contain the Imagawa. In particular, it could block the road to Narumi Castle. The forts themselves had relatively few defenders and were easily defeated by the overwhelming forces of Matsudaira Motoyasu (Tokugawa Ieyasu) at the Battle of Okehazama
Visit Notes
Along with Marune Fort these two are probably the most interesting forts around Okehazama to visit. They are also well signposted both at the site and along the road between Odaka Castle and Marune Fort. There are two entrances to the fort area, one at the bottom of the hill and one at the top. I recommend you take the path through the woods between both entrances regardless of which you start at. There is a long trench in remaining in the middle of the hill that you won't find at other forts.
