Masugatayama

桝形山

Matsusaka, Mie · Elevation 311 m

Masugatayama is a roughly 312-meter hill in the Iseji district of Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture, and the site of the medieval Azaka Castle (a nationally designated historic site). It is also called Hakumai-jo ("white-rice castle") after a wartime ruse in which the defenders poured white rice to mimic flowing water and deceive the besiegers. A maintained trail leads to its 360-degree summit lookout over Matsusaka and toward Tsu, though it does not appear in any renowned mountain list.
