Kyuden Asako
Also known as Morning Glory Castle and Castle of the White Phoenix, was the largest holding of the Asako family, though it was still much smaller than Kyuden Isawa or Shiro Shiba. It was an easily defensible mountain fortress atop an outcrop of black rock. Despite its connection to the Asako, the family generally used their holdings farther south to host any visitors or events.
Kyuden Asako laid in the Yogen province, formerly known as the Giryu province, within Isawa Mori’s borders and rested upon a great pillar of black stone that rises above the treeline. It was past Shiro sano Chujitsu and Shinpu along a long, winding trail through the Mountains of Regret. Although it was a beautiful palace, the Asako rarely hosted outsiders. Their holdings to the north east, such as Shiro Gisu, had much better views and were much more accessible.
