Château de Wakabayashishiro, Japanese castle in Sendai, Japan
The castle grounds form a rectangular shape measuring 420 meters east to west and 350 meters north to south, with moats and earthen walls.
Date Masamune constructed Wakabayashi Castle in 1628 as his retirement residence, which was later abandoned following his death in 1636.
The castle site transformed into Wakabayashi Medicinal Garden during the Edo period, where various medical herbs were cultivated for pharmaceutical purposes.
The current location houses the Miyagi Prison, allowing visitors to observe the remaining moats and earthen walls from outside the perimeter fence.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1984 and 2004 confirmed the existence of original castle structures beneath the modern prison complex.
