Eda Castle, Feudal castle ruins at Mount Aoba, Sendai, Japan

Stone walls and guard tower remain on Mount Aoba, offering views of Sendai City from an elevated position of 115 meters.

Date Masamune began construction of this strategic hilltop fortress in 1600, establishing it as the administrative center of Mutsu Province.

The castle grounds feature a statue of Date Masamune in full armor, with samurai reenactors sharing stories about Sendai's military heritage.

The museum operates from 9:00 AM to 4:20 PM in summer and 9:00 AM to 3:40 PM in winter, with admission fees of 770 yen for adults.

The surrounding forest represents one of the last surviving virgin woodlands in Honshu, now maintained as a botanical garden by Tohoku University.
