Nishino Castle

Long Abandoned, damaged and left in a derelict state for the rumor and belief that it was cursed and haunted, Nishino Castle stands as a shadow of it's former self and symbol of the powerbase of the former Nagano Clan as the rulers of the small yet prosperous Nishino Province, now absorbed into the larger Shinano Province after their downfall.

Long damaged and ruined during the Onin War by the Ikko Ikki, the Castle maintains a haunting image and the land surrounded seems to be set with a mist that never seems to fade. In the courtyards and halls of the castle one can still hear the sound of swords clashing and under right conditions when the moon is bright, it is said that the spirits of dead Samurai and warrior monks can be seen reliving the battle that took place here.
