Château de Chokuminejo, Japanese castle in Yasuzuka-ku, Japan
The castle stands on elevated terrain with stone foundations and defensive moats surrounding its wooden structures in the Joetsu region of Niigata Prefecture.
Built during the Edo period under Tokugawa shogunate rule, the castle functioned as an administrative center for the Takada Domain through multiple political transitions.
The castle exhibits traditional Japanese fortification design with earthen ramparts and strategic positioning near river confluences for enhanced defensive capabilities.
The castle grounds connect to public transportation networks through a series of train transfers, followed by walking paths that lead visitors to the historic site.
The castle ruins include preserved sections of moats and embankments that demonstrate medieval Japanese engineering techniques for military installations.
