Most well-known "Kōgoishi" hillfort found in 1971 after a forest fire. 4 gates, 6 drain gates, some fundation stones for buildings and fine stone walls can be seen. Recently a wooden watch-tower was reconstructed. A narrow road leads to the parking close to the ruin. There also exists a steep hiking path.
