The location was a crossroads on the Akiba Kaidō, a highway connecting <a href="/wiki/T%C5%8Dt%C5%8Dmi_province" class="mw-redirect" title="Tōtōmi province">Tōtōmi province</a> with the <a href="/wiki/Suwa_Province" title="Suwa Province">Suwa</a> region of Shinano and <a href="/wiki/Kai_Province" title="Kai Province">Kai Province</a> and a road which led to the western portion of the Ina valley and <a href="/wiki/Mino_Province" title="Mino Province">Mino Province</a>.

Deep trenches, earthen <a href="/wiki/Rampart_(fortification)" title="Rampart (fortification)">ramparts</a> and stone walls in concentric rings form the defensive structures in a style typical of construction under <a href="/wiki/Takeda_Shingen" title="Takeda Shingen">Takeda Shingen</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Inner_bailey" title="Inner bailey">Central Bailey</a> (<i>Hon-maru</i>) [1] was protected to the northwest and northeast by the Second Bailey (<i>Ni-no-maru</i>) [2] and Third Bailey (<i>San-no-maru</i>) [3] along with four enclosures: the <i>Suwa-kuruwa</i> ( 諏訪曲輪 ) [A], <i>Sasa-kuruwa</i> ( 笹曲輪 ) [B], <i>Minami-kuruwa</i> ( 南曲輪 ) [C] and <i>Hōdōji-kuruwa</i> ( 法幢寺曲輪 ) [D].
