Washizu-toride is an earthworks fort ruin in the Ôdaka neighbourhood of Midori Ward, Nagoya City. It is interesting and a little mysterious, and offers suggestions of remains which never fully come into focus. There appears to be trenches at the bottom of the castle mount, and terracing of the hillside with remains of dorui (earthen ramparts). These remains are easy to miss unless one is looking carefully. Since terracing can be accounted for with cultivation, and long trenches of this nature could be trails or old mountain roads, it’s difficult to parse these shapes in the earth. There is a monument stele at the top of the hill, but no consistently flat area which would constitute the main bailey. It’s fun to poke around here, but may disappoint those looking for something more definitive.
