Hitachi Matsuyama Castle
常陸松山城
A mountain castle in Kasama, Ibaraki, held by the Kasama clan for generations. Its position on a forested ridge above the ancient castle town features well-preserved stone walls and earthworks. The adjacent Kasama Inari Shrine, Japan's oldest Inari shrine, makes this a doubly historic site.
