Ōdate Castle, Medieval mountain fortress in Iwaki, Japan
Located between Uchigo Odai, Yoshima, and Taira districts, Odate Castle features stone markers and earthwork fortifications on elevated terrain.
The castle served as a vital stronghold of the Iwaki clan until 1602, when the Torii family assumed control following the Battle of Sekigahara.
The fortress represents one of the 48 historical castles of the Iwaki region, demonstrating medieval Japanese military architecture and strategic planning.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins via a 15-minute drive from Iwaki-Chuo Interchange, with dedicated parking facilities available at the site.
The castle site earned official recognition as a Historical Monument of Iwaki City on May 1, 2017, preserving its archaeological significance.
