Okuse Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Towada, Japan.
The castle grounds cover an area of 50 meters east to west and 100 meters north to south, situated on a plateau next to the Katafuchi River.
The castle served as the residence of the Okuse clan, who were among the seven prominent families that followed the Nanbu clan from Kai Province.
The remains include traces of a horse-riding ground and a well, demonstrating the military and daily activities of medieval Japanese castle life.
Visitors can access the castle site through marked paths and read information from commemorative stones and explanation boards placed throughout the grounds.
The castle location provides views of the Hakkoda mountain range and features numerous cherry trees within its bailey area, now transformed into a public park.
