Mount Kakujo
鶴城山
Nagaoka, Niigata · Elevation 228 m
A 227.6-meter peak rising west of the Tochio district of Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The Tochio Castle ruins on its summit—built as a stronghold of Echigo from the Nanboku-chō period and now a prefectural historic site—are renowned as the place where the young Uesugi Kenshin launched his rise to power. Four walking routes lead up the hill, and the main enclosure offers a panorama of Tochio.
