A Castle Town Buried for 400 Years
The Ichijōdani Asakura Family Historic Ruins are what remains of a castle town from Japan's Warring States Period. It was a rather large discovering—akin to finding a "Northern Kyoto". At the city's peak, it seems to have had around 10,000 inhabitants. With the end of the Asakura family, the city was forgotten. It stayed that way until 50 years ago when it was rediscovered—mostly perserved in its former state.
