The page of "Ruins of Nejyo Castle" as "Your Travel Destination in Japan" now has been uploaded:
Nejyo Castle was built by NAMBU Moroyuki in 1334,
just after the Kamakura Age (1185 ～ 1333) finished.
Nejyo Castle had existed during the Muromachi Age (1336 ～ 1573) ,
as the base for NAMBU Family to govern the east part of current Aomori Prefecture.
After passing through the castle gate, snowfield spread out when I visited Nejyo Castle in December.
When you walk across the third bailey, you will see an arbour beyond a dry moat.
The arbour is located in the second bailey.
You can also see rebuilt castle buildings in the first bailey to the west.
To the first bailey, you will across a bridge over the dray moat
between the first and the second baileys.
Nejyo Castle is the limited example that castle buildings
in the Muromachi Age (1336 ～ 1573) are rebuilt.

英語版のサイトに青森県八戸市にある根城のページをアップデートしました：
根城は鎌倉時代の終わりの南北朝の時代に南部師行によって築かれ、
江戸時代の初期に廃城となるまで南部氏が居城としたお城です。
江戸時代のお城は現存天守や櫓が残り、多くのお城で復元天守や櫓が
築かれていますが、室町時代の城郭建築が再建されている数少ないお城です。
