Our guide

Kameyama Castle in Kameyama, northern Mie, was at the end of the Edo period the home of the Ishikawa clan, daimyō of the Ise-Kameyama Domain. It was also known as Kochō-jō. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.

Kameyama Station on the Kansai Main Line is about 650 m away in a straight line. We have not checked what can be seen on the site today.
