Chris-san, Is this former castle in a hill? I was looking through Google Map, is next to a park.

It's surrounded by rice paddies, and is in quite a rural area. There are a few castles with the same name, try Iga Mibuno when you search. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll send you a link or something.

This article is great! It took me back to the castle in my mind! There really is a lot of interest surrounding Nobunaga's campaign against the Iga region and the Tensho Iga battles of 1579 and 1581. I'm really excited by this article and everything related to it. Thanks Chris-san!

Once again, thank you for your kind words, Helly san! I agree, the Iga Tensho no Ran is an exciting series of battles in which the underdog often came through!
