Odemori Castle, Mountain fortress in Nihonmatsu, Japan
Located on a hilltop in Fukushima Prefecture, Odemori Castle features stone walls and multiple terraces connected by steep pathways leading to the main enclosure.
In 1585, Date Masamune captured the castle at age 19, resulting in the death of 800 inhabitants including castle lord Kikuchi Akinobu and civilians.
The main bailey now contains Atago Shrine, while remaining stone walls and defensive earthworks demonstrate medieval Japanese fortification techniques.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking a bus from JR Nihonmatsu Station to Miyanohira stop, followed by a 10-minute walk to the entrance.
The castle grounds include undeveloped terraces on the east and west sides, with original stone fortifications visible near the shrine area.
