Chashi is an Ainu language meaning fort or fence. There are many simple structures formed by moats, earthworks and embankments on natural cliffs on cliffs facing hills and coasts. They were used not only as forts for battle, but also as rituals, gatherings, and lookouts. Hokkaido has about 500 chashis, most of which are distributed from the central part to the eastern part. In Nemuro city, 32 chasi traces have been confirmed, Twenty-four of these are nationally designated historic sites.
These are typical types of chashi. "Isolated island type" uses hills and islands isolated on plains and lakes. The “hilltop type” uses a mountaintop. The “hillside type” uses a prominent plateau such as a cape. In the "cliff type", a semicircular moat was built on the cliff, and the interior was used as a fort.
