Tateyama Castle, Japanese castle ruins in Yonezawa, Japan
The castle site occupies a triangular plateau measuring 100 meters in length and 50 meters in width at the confluence of Omono and Otaru Rivers.
The Nagai clan constructed the castle during the Kamakura period, maintaining control until the Date clan destroyed them in the Yonezawa Basin in 1385.
The castle's location at mountain passes connecting to the Aizu region made it central to regional trade and communication networks in feudal Japan.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 2011 and 2015 preceded the site's designation as a National Historic Site in 2016.
A substantial earthen rampart, measuring 10 meters wide and 5 meters tall with stone reinforcement, protected the western section of the castle.
