116)Namioka Castle(Aomori, Japan)The residence of the Namioka Kitabatake clan
It is located in Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture.
The castle was built by the Namioka Kitabatake clan in the 1460s.
The Namioka Kitabatake clan is said to be a descendant of Chikafusa Kitabatake, who helped Emperor Godaigo during the Nanbokucho period.
In 1578, the castle was attacked and fell by Tamenobu Oura (later Tamenobu Tsugaru).
The designated area is approximately 136,300 square meters (approximately 940m from east to west and approximately 245m from north to south).
It is characterized by its fan-like shape, consisting of eight halls (kuruwa) divided by double moats, approximately 20m wide and 5m deep.
It is thought that the moat and the earthworks inside the moat were used to strengthen the defense.
This is a video of a 49-year-old bachelor who silently visited the castle by himself.
I am posting a visit record of historical remains such as castle ruins that I visited as I thought, based on the belief that I do not flock and do not flirt.
