朝比奈城

The Asahina Castle contains stone walls and earthen fortifications positioned strategically on elevated terrain in the mountainous region of Shizuoka Prefecture.

The castle, constructed in 1582, functioned as a military stronghold during the rule of Tokugawa Ieyasu until its abandonment following the 1871 administrative reforms.

The castle grounds serve as a location for regional festivals and cultural events that maintain connections to medieval Japanese military traditions.

Visitors can reach the castle site by taking a bus from the nearest railway station and following the marked walking paths to explore the remaining structures.

The castle ruins provide a vantage point overlooking the surrounding valleys, allowing visitors to understand the strategic military positioning of medieval Japanese fortifications.
