Château de Fukuhara, Mountain castle in Hitachi Province, Japan
The castle was built on an elevated position commanding views of the surrounding valleys and incorporating natural terrain features for defense.
Construction of the castle began in 1597 by Fukuhara Naotaka, who moved from Usuki to establish this strategic fortification.
The castle represents the architectural methods of Japanese mountain fortifications during the late 16th century feudal period.
The castle ruins include stone walls and foundation structures that visitors can examine during daylight hours without entrance fees.
Following the Battle of Sekigahara, lord Hayakawa Nagamasa performed seppuku at this location after choosing the losing side.
