Asaka Castle Ruins (Shiromai Castle Ruins) Azakajouato (Hakumaijouato)

A mountain castle built on the top of a mountain over 300 meters above sea level, this is the residence of the Kitabatake clan.
It is said that the besieged Mitsumasa Kitabatake poured white rice on the back of his horse to make it appear as if there was water and repelled the shogunate army who were on a mission to cut off the water (Nanpokiden), and it is also known as ``Shiramai Castle.''
