Shōjujidate Castle, Medieval fortified residence in Nanbu, Japan
The castle stands at a strategic junction where the Ōshū Kaidō meets the Kakuno Kaidō and the Mabechi River in northern Japan.
The Nanbu clan constructed this fortification during the Kamakura period and maintained it through the Muromachi period until its destruction by fire in 1539.
The castle grounds contain Sankō-ji temple and Moto-Sannohe Hachiman-gu Shrine, both designated as part of the National Historic Site in 2004.
The castle site spans across private lands with farmhouses and fruit orchards, accessible through an information center that opens from 9:00 to 16:30.
The trapezoidal foundation measures 36 meters from north to south and 42 meters east to west, making it the largest medieval castle structure in Tohoku.
