Kori-Nishiyama Castle Ruins

Fukushima City / Kunimi / NihonmatsuArea

These are the ruins of a mountain castle said to have been built in 1189 by Tomomune, the founder of the Date family, who served in the conquest of Oshu by Minamoto no Yoritomo. The Fukukaku-style castle ruins stretch about 1.3 kilometers east to west and one kilometer north to south, and there are many remains from the Warring States period (1467-1590), including stone fortifications, empty dugouts, and a square-shaped Koguchi narrow opening. The castle was destroyed in 1548, and served as the residence of the Date family until Harumune Date moved to Yonezawa. The entire area around the castle has been reconstructed with the remains of the moat and earthen mound restored to their previous glory, and it is a historic park where you can see an entire mountain castle.
