Visit Notes

Jōmurajō, which means "Castle Village Castle", is paired with Jōmurafurajō, which means "Castle Village Old Castle". The two sites are very close together but Jōmurajō sits on a cliff overlooking the older ruin. Jōmurajō is a more complicated construct, featuring two integral baileys, karabori (dry moats) and dorui (earth-piled ramparts). The embankments in the second bailey appear to have been excavated or dug into. I'm not sure if they were originally that height or not.
