Hakusan Castle Ruins

This is the remains of the castle of the Hiraga clan, a warlord from the Sengoku period. As their first castle, Misono-U Castle, was located on flat ground and unsuitable for warfare, a new castle was built by Hiraga Hiroyasu. This castle is located almost in the center of the Hiraga clan's territory, offers views in all directions, and overlooks the town of Shiraichi. It is also said to have been well-defended, taking advantage of the natural terrain, and was also convenient for controlling the temple town of Yokokuji. It has been designated a prefectural historic site.
