This castle was located in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture. It was a medieval castle located on the natural levee of the Seki River, southwest of today's JR Naoetsu Station, in an area that was once the center of Echigo, known as Fuchu or Funai. It was about 250m east to west and 300m north to south, and was composed of five enclosures including the main enclosure, making it the largest castle in Echigo. In March 1551 (Tenbun 20), Uesugi Norimasa, the Kanto Kanrei (regent for the Kanto region), lived in Hirai Castle (Fujioka City, Gunma Prefecture), and fled to Echigo, relying on Nagao Kagetora (later Uesugi Kenshin), when the Odawara Hojo clan (Hojo Ujiyasu) invaded Kozuke. Kenshin welcomed Norimasa and built his residence (Kanto Kanrei-kan) under his castle, Kasugayama Castle (Joetsu City), during the Koji era (1555-1558). Kenshin also used this mansion as a diplomatic office. After Kenshin's death, Otate became one of the main battlefields of the Otate War in 1578 (Tensho 6), fought between two adopted sons of Uesugi, Uesugi Kagekatsu and Uesugi Kagetora. During the Otate War, Kagekatsu used Kasugayama Castle as his base, while Kagetora escaped from Kasugayama Castle and used Otate as his base. On February 18, 1579 (Tensho 7), Kagekatsu surrounded Otate and cut off its food supply, and on March 17, he launched a simultaneous attack, burning and taking the castle. During this time, Uesugi Norimasa was killed by Kagekatsu's soldiers on his way to Kasugayama Castle for peace negotiations. It is said that Hori Hideharu, who entered the area after Uesugi Kagekatsu was transferred to Aizu by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, used the remains of the Otate, but it is said that the land was already cultivated by 1599 (Keicho 4). In 1964, an excavation of the site uncovered buildings, a garden, and the remains of a well, as well as combs, hairpins, and lead bullets. Currently, part of the site is Otate Park. There is a stone monument in the park that records the existence of the Otate. It is about a 10-minute walk from JR Naoetsu Line/Hokuriku Line Naoetsu Station.

新潟県上越市にあった城館。かつて越後の中心地として府中あるいは府内と呼ばれていた一角、今日のJR直江津駅の西南方、関川の自然堤防上にあった中世の城館である。東西約250m・南北約300mの規模を持ち、主郭を含め5つの郭で構成されていたもので、越後では最も規模の大きな城館とされる。上野国の平井城(群馬県藤岡市)を居城としていた関東管領の上杉憲政は1551年(天文20)3月、小田原北条氏(北条氏康)が上野に侵攻したことから、長尾景虎(のちの上杉謙信)を頼って越後に逃れた。謙信は憲政を迎え、その居館(関東管領館)として、弘治年間(1555~58年)に居城の春日山城(上越市)の城下に建設したといわれている。謙信はこの館を外交館としても使用した。その後、御館は謙信の死後の1578年(天正6)、上杉景勝と上杉景虎の2人の養子が争った御館の乱の主戦場の一つとなった。御館の乱では景勝が春日山城を拠点としたのに対し、景虎は春日山城を脱出して御館を拠点とした。翌1579年(天正7)2月18日、景勝は御館を包囲して食糧を遮断し、3月17日に一斉攻撃を行い、御館は炎上・落城した。このとき、上杉憲政は春日山城に和議交渉に向かう途中で景勝の兵により殺害された。上杉景勝が豊臣秀吉により会津へ移封された後、この地に入った堀秀治は御館跡を利用したともいわれるが、1599年(慶長4)時点ですでに耕地になっていたといわれる。1964年(昭和39)に行われた跡地の発掘調査で、建物や庭園、井戸跡が見つかり、櫛や簪のほか鉛製の銃弾なども発見された。現在、御館跡の一部が御館公園となっている。園内には御館があったことを記した石碑が建っている。JR信越本線・北陸本線直江津駅から徒歩約10分。
