篠川城, Medieval castle in Kōriyama, Japan
The castle features stone walls, an inner moat, and a reconstructed Ote-mon Gate situated between two rivers at the southern end of Saikyo Hills.
The site transformed from a physic garden in the Nara period to a fortification in the late 10th century, with major renovations by Tsutsui Junkei.
The annual Yamatokoriyama Oshiro Matsuri festival celebrates the castle heritage with illuminated cherry blossoms and traditional performances in early spring.
Visitors can reach the castle grounds through a 15-minute walk from JR Koriyama Station or a 7-minute walk from Kintetsu-Koriyama Station.
The castle walls contain hidden Buddhist statues and gravestones, incorporated during construction due to material shortages under Lord Toyotomi Hidenaga's rule.
