Château de Yasudashiro

The stone foundation walls and wooden structures of Yasudashiro Castle stand on elevated ground, providing views over the Niigata countryside.

During the Sengoku period, Yasudashiro Castle served as a strategic stronghold for local lords controlling the Echigo province trade routes.

The castle grounds maintain traditional Japanese defensive architecture elements, including multiple circular bailey layouts and strategic positioning.

Visitors can access the castle site throughout the year, with dedicated parking areas and information panels explaining the structure's military significance.

The remaining fortification elements demonstrate the evolution of Japanese castle construction techniques from wood to stone foundations.
