Somayama Castle Ruins

Standing at a height of 492m, Mount Somayama used to be referred to as Mount Hiei of the north. The main castle keep was located across the entire hill, and this castle served as the main stronghold for the Southern Court in Hokuriku during the Nanboku-cho period due to its favorable geographical location as a chokepoint for traffic. This is designated as a national historic site, and is popular as a hiking trail now.
