Field notes
The homepage supports several ways into the material: regional lists, searches by work or theme, and suggested routes. Its featured “Toyotomi Brothers!” section pairs six castles with short historical labels and prefectures. A separate feature describes interactive family trees for 12 clans. The page also advertises map and current-location search; the extracted text does not verify those features in use.
