Uozu Castle, Mountain fortress in Uozu, Japan
The stone ramparts and dry moats of Uozu Castle extend across multiple levels on a strategic position overlooking Toyama Bay in the Hokuriku region.
The Bōmon clan constructed Uozu Castle in 1335, which later became a central stronghold during territorial disputes between the Oda and Uesugi forces in 1582.
The castle grounds transform into a gathering space during spring when hundreds of cherry trees create a celebration setting for the Sengoku Noroshi Festival.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a 7-minute drive from Uozu Station on the Aino-fu Toyama Railway or 5 minutes from Uozu Interchange.
The castle site now houses Uozu Omachi Elementary School, with stone markers indicating the former locations of main fortification structures.
