Château de Kaneko, Mountain fortress in Honjo City, Japan
The wooden structures of Kaneko Castle incorporate traditional Japanese architectural elements with layered fortifications and ceremonial areas built from hinoki cypress.
The castle dates back to the early Edo period when it functioned as both a military stronghold and an administrative center for local feudal lords.
Each section of the castle complex follows specific design principles of Japanese architecture, featuring sliding doors decorated with traditional paintings.
Visitors can access the castle grounds through guided tours that explain the architectural features and historical importance of different castle sections.
The castle maintains its original defensive layout with multiple protective rings, centered around the honmaru core structure.
