The road from the Ashikita IC to the Sashiki Castle Ruins parking lot was a little confusing at the end, so I went while looking at Google Maps.

It is a castle ruin that remains in Ashikita Town, Kita-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture. It was built by a vassal of Kiyomasa Kato who ruled this area during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. After that, there were two battles with the Shimazu family in Satsuma. It was abandoned during the Ikkoku Ichijo Rei (one country, one castle), but still many stone walls remain. The area around the castle ruins is well maintained and is highly recommended for a walk. Also, even if you look at it from the surrounding area, the stone wall at the top of the mountain gives the image of a castle in the sky, and it is a castle ruin recommended for a tour.
