Niwasejo Castle, Japanese castle in Kita-ku, Japan
Niwasejo Castle features two concentric rings of fortifications with wooden structures and stone walls that define its military architecture.
The castle emerged in the 17th century as part of the Tokugawa shogunate's initiative to establish control over western Japan through strategic fortifications.
The castle grounds contain traditional Japanese gardens with water elements and stone arrangements that reflect the refined tastes of feudal nobility.
Visitors can reach the castle through public transportation and explore the grounds from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours explaining its features.
Local legends tell of ghost sightings within the castle walls, with stories of former lords passed down through generations of residents.
