Ogura Castle, Mountain fortress in Tokigawa, Japan
The castle spans 600 meters by 200 meters across a 70-meter ridge, featuring two large enclosures and multiple defensive gates overlooking the Tsuchigawa River.
Constructed in the late 1400s, the fortress served as a defensive stronghold for the Ueda clan before falling under Hojo clan control during the 16th century.
The castle grounds contain stone walls built using a regional construction method where small, flat stones were arranged in brick-like patterns.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking a 60-minute walk from Musashi-Ranzan Station on the Tobu Tojo Line through a path behind Daifukuji Temple.
The fortress forms part of the four Hiki Fortified Residence Sites in Saitama Prefecture, receiving National Historic Site status in 2008.
