Tawara Castle, Medieval castle in Shijonawate, Japan.
The castle features stone walls and moats integrated into the mountainous terrain, following traditional Japanese military architecture principles of the Muromachi period.
Tawara Castle served as a defensive stronghold during the Sengoku period conflicts, protecting the strategic interests of local feudal lords in the Kawachi region.
The castle grounds contain archaeological artifacts that document the daily activities and military operations of samurai warriors during Japan's feudal era.
Visitors can reach the castle site via public transportation to Shinobugaoka Station, with walking paths leading through the historical grounds.
Local excavations near the castle walls have uncovered hidden pathways and underground structures that reveal complex defensive systems from medieval Japan.
