Nagasakaue Fort
From Jcastle.info
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 last and least of my "toride tour" that day, the ruins of Nagasakaue-toride ("Fort upon Long Hill"), are on private property. As such, even though I had anticipated maybe finding trench remains, I could only see this site from the road side, which was disappointing. The site is now forest and apple orchards. The construction of a road has likely obliterated many earthwork traces.
