Jindaiji Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Chofu, Japan
The remains of Jindaiji Castle stand near the Jindai Temple complex, featuring stone foundations and remnants of defensive structures from its military past.
Built in 1537, Jindaiji Castle served as a strategic fortification during the feudal period before becoming part of the current botanical garden grounds.
The castle site integrates with Jindai Botanical Garden, where local students participate in traditional soba cultivation projects above the marsh area.
Visitors can access the castle grounds through the Jindai Botanical Garden, which charges 500 yen for adults and operates from 9:30 to 17:00 daily.
The castle's former moat has evolved into a specialized wetland area that now houses diverse aquatic plants and supports local wildlife populations.
