Kochi Nakamura Castle
中村城
A hilltop castle in Shimanto (formerly Nakamura), Kochi, built by the Ichijo clan who turned this remote valley into a refined 'little Kyoto.' The ruined earthworks and stone walls above the Shimanto River are all that remain of the elegant Ichijo court culture transplanted to deepest Shikoku.
