Shiratoritate ruins

The Shiratoritate ruins are located north of Chusonji and are said to be the remains of the castle where Abe Yoritoki's eighth son, Shiratori Hachiro Noritoto, lived. It is an important ruin related to the Abe clan, which wielded power in the late 11th century, and tells the historical background of the surrounding area before Hiraizumi was formed.
