Toriyoichi Castle Ruins (鳥越城跡)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The ruins of a mountain fortress built as one of the bases of the Kaga Ikkou Ikki during the Sengoku period, designated as a National Historic Site. Earthen ramparts, stone walls, and moats remain in excellent condition, allowing visitors to envision the area's past. From the summit, a magnificent landscape spreads across the mountains of the Hakusan foothills and the settlements of the Toriyoichi area, offering both historical exploration and scenic views. This is the very historic stage that inspired tonight's "Ikkou Ikki Festival," providing a precious experience.

Tips

About 10 minutes by car from Michi no Eki Ichikouikki no Sato. The walk from the parking lot to the main castle ruins is about 15 minutes on a mountain path. Wear comfortable walking shoes. In summer, the sun is strong, so don't forget a hat and drinks. Watage Falls is about 15 minutes away by car.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour required. Early afternoon offers plenty of shade and relatively cool walking conditions.
