Aterazawa Tateyama Castle, Mountain fortress site in Ōe, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan
The castle ruins rest on a U-shaped plateau overlooking a bend of the Mogami River, featuring earthen ramparts and dry moats.
The Aterazawa clan constructed the initial fortifications in the 14th century, controlling river traffic until their defeat by the Mogami clan in 1584.
The central government designated the castle site as a National Historic Site in 2009, recognizing its role in medieval Japanese military architecture.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through Tateyama Park, located north of Aterazawa Station on the JR Aterazawa Line.
The castle location offers views of the 224-kilometer Mogami River, the Asahi Mountain Range, and Mount Zao from its strategic vantage point.
