Château de Kakatajo, Japanese castle in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
Kakatajo Castle stands on the summit of Mount Chausu, featuring traditional stone walls and wooden structures typical of medieval Japanese fortifications.
The castle originated from Takamatsu Castle in 1325, when Takamatsu Sadataka constructed it as a new stronghold under orders from Kitabatake Akiie.
The castle grounds preserve elements of medieval Japanese military architecture, including earthen fortifications, moats, and defensive trenches.
The castle ruins remain accessible throughout the year, with visitors reaching the site through local transportation from Fukushima Prefecture.
During the Tenbun Disturbance, the castle served as a refuge for Date Harumune, marking a significant moment in regional power struggles.
