Masuyama Castle, Mountain castle in Tonami, Japan
The hilltop fortification features defensive ditches, earthen walls, well foundations, and watchtower platforms spread across multiple ridges at 36.65N, 137.04E.
Built in 1394, the castle served as headquarters for the Jinbo clan until 1576 when Uesugi Kenshin captured it during the widespread regional conflicts.
The annual Masuyama Castle Sengoku Festival in autumn brings visitors to experience medieval Japanese military traditions through demonstrations and events.
From Tonami Station, visitors can rent bicycles at the roadside station and reach the castle entrance in 45 minutes, with parking available at Masuyama Guard Station.
The castle features an audio guide narrated by rakugo performer Shota Shunputei, accessible through QR codes placed throughout the historical site.
