Moshiriya Chashi, Ainu fortification site in Kushiro, Japan
The Moshiriya Chashi occupies an elevated position with defensive walls, offering clear views across the surrounding Kushiro landscape from its strategic hilltop location.
Built during the Horeki period between 1751 and 1764 by Ainu chief Tomikara Aino, this fortification served as a crucial defensive structure against regional conflicts.
The site contains archaeological evidence of Ainu daily life, including remnants of traditional ceremonies and trade activities with Japanese merchants during the Edo period.
Visitors can access the site through marked trails, with informational panels in multiple languages explaining the historical significance of the fortification structure.
The fortification belongs to a group of eleven designated chashi sites in Kushiro, covering more than 55,000 square meters of protected historical terrain.
