Original Text

The castle where the government office of the former Omura domain was located. ２ 10,000 ７ It is a magnificent castle that does not suit the ransom of 1000 Koku, but it may be related to the fact that Mr. Omura had been with this place since the Kamakura period. However, it seems that the castle tower was not built at the height of the castle, so it seems that it was a fortress centered on stone walls. It seems that the defense force is high just because it is a castle built on a peninsula protruding into Omura Bay, but it seems that empty moats were also dug. Also, the surrender moat is ... in the sea.
