Takatō Castle, Japanese castle in Ina, Japan.

The stone walls and wooden structures of Takato Castle rise on a natural hill in Nagano Prefecture, forming a military complex.

Built in the 16th century, Takato Castle functioned as a military defense point for feudal lords during the Sengoku period.

The site belongs to the 100 distinguished Japanese castles, demonstrating the military construction techniques of feudal Japan.

Visitors can access the castle park daily and explore the fortress remains through marked trails that wind through the grounds.

The ramparts and foundations of the castle reveal a defense system adapted to the mountainous terrain of the Ina region.
