Visit Notes

The Noritsune-yashiki is a medieval residence site just north of Ishida Castle. Based on the terrain and remains in the vicinity – and this is just speculation – but the yashiki may have been converted into a satellite fortification of Ishida Castle from 1590. Or the yashiki was located elsewhere on the plain and I stumbled upon some outer ruins of Ishidajō whilst searching for it! I have not found a reliable source pinpointing exactly where this site was meant to be, but I checked out the site indicated on a map I did have, and, this took me to a site on the ridge. Admittedly this site couldn’t’ve have accommodated anything but a small residence, but it looked like a fortification site (some yashiki were also built on elevation). The ridge was flattened and the edges were heaped up as with dorui. Below the ridge there are rice paddies; if this terrain was a bog or rice swamps before too then it would’ve formed a natural moat for the fortified ridge above. Whether a satellite fort of Ishida Castle or the yashiki site, I found something so I’m happy about that.
