Château de Ryogaya, Medieval fortress in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

The stone foundation walls and dry moat of Ryogaya Castle extend across multiple levels on a strategic hilltop location in Saitama Prefecture.

Built during the Sengoku period in the 15th century, Ryogaya Castle served as a defensive position for controlling routes between the Kanto Plain and Hachioji.

The castle grounds contain a shrine at the summit where visitors participate in traditional ceremonies reflecting Japanese medieval military architecture.

The castle site includes walking paths through preserved fortification elements, with informational panels explaining the structural features of each section.

The eastern section of the castle incorporates natural water features into its defensive system, including an integrated stream within the fortress design.
