Marichi Castle is a mountain castle built by the Yamato administration in the latter half of the seventh century, when the situation in East Asia was tense. It is amazing to have created such a large and highly designed building 1350 years ago. The area including Marichi Castle is a large park, and when I entered the Wenko Soseikan in the park, I was able to learn about Marichi Castle.
