This is the site of the castle of a powerful family that ruled this area from ancient times. It is said to have been the site of a fortress built by Fujiwara no Tsuneakiyo and his son Kiyohira in the late Heian period. An octagonal hall building and Niseiin Temple (where Buddhist statues are preserved) were erected to commemorate the great deeds of the father and son, Tsuneakiyo and Kiyohira. Visitors can enjoy the seasonal scenery of cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, and maple trees.


Niseiin Temple is usually closed. It is opened twice a year (May and August).

The former Iwayado Kyoritsu Hospital was built in the 7th year of the Meiji era as the prefecture's first hall of Western medicine, ``Iwayado Kyoritsu Hospital.''
This pavilion-style building, which uses Western-style techniques, is the motif of Kazuo Kikuta's ``Kane no Naru Oka,'' and the melody of ``Kane no Naru Oka'' plays every morning and evening.
Mukoyama Park, located on a hill nearby, has a spectacular view, and within the park are the former Goto family residence, which is a nationally important cultural property, and the Yasunari Kawabata Literary Monument.
