Château de Masuo, Japanese castle in Matsudo, Japan

The castle features traditional wooden structures, stone foundations, and defensive elements including walls, gatehouses, and multiple moats for protection.

Built in the late 16th century by the Matsudo clan during the Sengoku period, the fortress was initially named Koshigaya Castle.

The architecture represents the military engineering advancements of the Azuchi-Momoyama period, incorporating both defensive capabilities and administrative functions.

The castle grounds have been transformed into a public park where visitors can examine the remaining structural elements and fortification systems.

The castle design includes specific adaptations to counter the introduction of firearms, with reinforced stone bases and strategic defensive positions.
