Chigasaki Castle

The ruins include stone walls and fortification remnants positioned on a hill, offering views of the surrounding Kanagawa landscape.

The castle, constructed during the late 16th century Sengoku period, served as a military stronghold for the Matsuda clan until the end of the Edo period.

The site hosts an annual festival where performers present traditional Japanese arts and local cuisine while commemorating the regional heritage.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through nearby train stations, with no entrance fees required to explore the historical grounds.

The remaining stone fortifications demonstrate the architectural methods used in Japanese castle construction during the feudal period.
