Yokote Park, Historical park and castle ruins in Yokote, Japan
The castle tower reconstruction within Yokote Park stands at four stories high, offering panoramic views of Yokote City and Mount Chokai.
The Onodera clan constructed the original Yokote Castle in 1550, which remained a strategic stronghold until its destruction during the Boshin War of 1868.
The park museum displays local artifacts, art pieces, and historical materials that represent the heritage of Yokote City across three floors.
Visitors can access the park via a 10-minute bus ride from Yokote Station, with admission to the observatory costing 100 yen for adults.
During winter, the park grounds transform into a venue for the Yokote Snow Festival, featuring traditional snow houses called Kamakura.
