Additional information:

"Seven States": From the Koromo Castle, situated on the top of Doji Mountain, glancing over the scenery it is possible to see the Mikawa State and the former neighboring States of Shinano, Mino, Owari, Omi, Iga and Ise. Presently, these "Seven States" correspond to the Provinces of Aichi, Nagano, Gifu, Shiga and Mie. The castle is also well known as the "Castle of the Seven States".
In addition, the "Seven States" are also related to the "Seven Continents" or the "Seven Seas", representing the immensity of the world.
