Ōda Castle, Castle ruins in Hitachiota, Japan
The stone foundations and earthen walls of Oda Castle remain visible on a strategic position overlooking the Sakura River and surrounding plains.
During the Nanboku-cho period, Southern Court general Kitabatake Chikafusa established his headquarters at Oda Castle and wrote imperial chronicles there.
The castle exemplifies medieval Japanese fortification techniques, with multiple defensive layers including moats, earthworks, and strategic placement near waterways.
Visitors can reach the castle grounds through local transportation from Hitachiota station, with guided tours available during regular opening hours.
The castle site sustained 20 years of persistent guerrilla warfare by Oda Ujiharu, who attempted to reclaim it from Satake control.
