last updated：

    • Historic sites・Historic remains
    Located northwest of Keisei Usui Station. It is said to have been built in 1114 (Eikyū 2) by Usui Tsuneyasu, a member of the Chiba clan. During the Warring States period, it served as the stronghold of the Hara clan, wielding considerable power, but fell during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's siege of Odawara in 1590 (Tenshō 18). It is now maintained as a park, preserving its dry moat and earthen ramparts. It also contains the grave of Ota Zushō, who died in battle while capturing Shirai Castle in 1479 (Bunmei 11).
