Katsuragaoka Chashi (桂ヶ岡砦跡, Katsuragaoka chashi ato) in Abashiri, Hokkaidō, Japan, was an Ainu chashi. Occupying an elevated site overlooking the Sea of Okhotsk, the natural changes in elevation of the two mounds upon the plateau were ideal for a fortification. The defensive capability was augmented by the addition of moats. The site is also known as Charanke Chashi (チャランケ（談判）チャシ).
It is now a historical site open to the public and has been designated a national Historic Site.[1][2][3]
