Château de Daikoji, Medieval Japanese castle in Hirakawa, Japan
The castle consisted of multiple defensive sections with moats, situated on a small hill in the Aomori Prefecture region of northern Japan.
The Soga family constructed the fortification in 1333, during the Kamakura period, establishing their presence in the northern territories of Japan.
The north gate of Hirosaki Castle, known as Kikkomon, incorporates architectural elements from the original entrance of Daikoji Castle.
The castle ruins stand 600 meters from Hiraga Station, with informational panels and commemorative monuments marking the historical location.
The castle structure split into three distinct sections: Daikoji Furudate, Daikoji Itsuka-ichitate, and Daikoji Shinjō, each representing different periods.
