Inohana Castle, Mountain castle in Chuo Ward, Chiba, Japan
Inohana Castle stands on a hill with steep cliffs to the west and the Miyako River to the north, forming natural defensive barriers.
The castle, constructed in 1126 by Taira Tsuneshige, served as the headquarters of the Chiba clan for 330 years until 1455.
The castle grounds contain the Chiba City Folk Museum, which displays artifacts and documents related to the Chiba clan and regional history.
The castle site, accessible within 5 minutes from Kenchomae Monorail Station, offers 25 free parking spaces for visitors exploring the grounds.
The name Inohana derives from the castle's promontory shape, which resembles a boar's nose when viewed from specific angles.
