Our guide
Kasama Castle in Kasama, central Ibaraki, changed hands among many clans in the early Edo period; at the end of the period it was the home of a junior branch of the Makino clan, daimyō of the Kasama Domain. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.
Kasama Inari Shrine is about 1.3 km away. We have not checked what can be seen on the site today or the paths up to it.
