Château de Sukagawa, Japanese castle in Sukagawa, Japan.

The stone walls and defensive structures of Sukagawa Castle stand on elevated ground, with deep moats surrounding the fortification complex.

Built in the late 16th century under the Uesugi clan, the castle served as a military stronghold during the intense conflicts of the Sengoku period.

The castle grounds host traditional festivals where local residents perform historical reenactments and share stories of samurai heritage through generations.

Visitors can access the castle ruins and adjacent reconstruction via a short walk from Sukagawa Station, with informational panels explaining the structural elements.

The remaining stone foundations contain architectural elements that demonstrate advanced medieval Japanese fortification techniques used in mountain castles.
