Château de Matsuojo, Japanese castle in Matsuo, Japan.
Located on the eastern coastline of Chiba Prefecture, Matsuo Castle features Western-style fortification elements with angular bastions and earthen ramparts.
Construction of Matsuo Castle began in 1869 under Ota Sukeyoshi but halted in 1874 during the Meiji Restoration before completion.
The castle grounds incorporate the Kikyo-dai platform, designed with the Ota family crest pattern, representing the connection between architecture and family heritage.
The castle site now hosts the Matsuo Driving School, where visitors can view historical markers and access documentation about the fortress.
Matsuo Castle stands as one of the last castles constructed in Japan, featuring a distinctive triangular fortification system unlike traditional Japanese designs.
