Château de Taki, Feudal fortress in Hitachi, Japan.

Located on elevated terrain, Château de Taki features stone foundations, dry moats, and remains of defensive walls from its original structure.

Built in the 15th century, the castle changed hands between clans until 1590, when it was abandoned following Tokugawa Ieyasu's arrival in the region.

The castle's name, Taki-no-jo, derives from the waterfall on its eastern side, which remains a central element of the current park grounds.

The castle site, now transformed into Taki-no-jo-shi Park, includes walking paths, educational displays, and a shrine at its summit.

Archaeological excavations at the castle grounds have revealed multiple building foundations, providing insights into medieval Japanese military architecture.
