Onnemoto Chashi Site
ヲンネモトチャシ跡
An Ainu cape fortress site on the Nemuro Peninsula, with clearly visible concave moats, designated one of Japan's 100 Castles.
Chashi were fortresses or gathering places built by the Ainu people between the 16th and 18th centuries. More than 30 sites are scattered across the Nemuro Peninsula, collectively known as the Nemuro Peninsula Chashi Sites, which are designated a National Historic Site and included in Japan's 100 Castles. The Onnemoto Chashi sits on a cape overlooking Onnemoto Bay, where two concave moats are well preserved. It is a 10-minute walk from the parking lot and about 3 km west of Cape Nosappu, making it an easy add-on for a visit.
