A famous castle ruin of the Sengoku period built atop cliffs nestled between the Arakawa and Fukuzawa rivers. Designated a national historic site, remnants like earthen ramparts and moats are preserved as a verdant park today. From the castle site, you can overlook the Arakawa gorge and understand why this location was chosen as a strategic stronghold. A history museum on-site details the castle's history and excavated artifacts.
Tips
About 5 minutes by car from the River Museum. The grounds have ups and downs, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Lots of shade in summer—choose tree-shaded areas for comfortable strolling.
Best time to visit
Takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. Early afternoon when sunlight's intensity eases is best for exploring.
