Château de Shiodashiro

The Shiodashiro Castle stands on elevated ground in Nagano Prefecture, featuring traditional wooden structures and stone fortifications typical of feudal Japanese architecture.

The castle served as a strategic military position during the regional conflicts of the 16th century, protecting the territories of local lords in central Japan.

The site represents the architectural principles of Japanese castle design, incorporating natural terrain features and multiple defensive layers common in medieval fortifications.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking a local bus from Ueda Station to the designated stop, followed by a 15-minute walk up the hill.

The castle's positioning at 36.33 degrees north latitude provides clear views of the surrounding Nagano valley and mountain ranges.
