Château de Kitsuregawa

The wooden fortress displays traditional Japanese architecture with stone foundations, defensive gates, and a central tower overlooking the surrounding landscape.

The Matsudaira clan constructed this strategic stronghold around 1600, establishing it as a crucial defensive position during the early Edo period.

The castle compound functioned as a residence for samurai families and administrative center, reflecting the structured social hierarchy of feudal Japan.

Visitors can access several preserved buildings and reconstructed structures throughout the castle grounds, which showcase architectural elements from the 17th century.

The fortress incorporates multiple defensive features including stone walls, guard towers, and specific entry points designed according to military strategies.
