Kunohe Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Ninohe, Japan
The castle grounds stretch across three baileys surrounded by natural defenses with rivers on three sides and deep defensive ditches between sections.
During the 1591 Kunohe Rebellion, the castle fell to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces, leading to the execution of the Kunohe clan despite promises of clemency.
Archaeological excavations since 1989 have revealed numerous artifacts and human remains that provide evidence of the castle's military significance in northern Japan.
The guide house operates from mid-April through November, with opening hours between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM for visitor information services.
The stone walls of Kunohe Castle contain the oldest remaining fortification structures of their kind in the Tohoku region of Japan.
