Château de Naganuma

Located at strategic heights, Naganuma Castle features stone foundations and wooden structures following traditional Japanese architectural principles from the feudal period.

The Utsunomiya clan controlled this military stronghold during the Sengoku period, using it as a defensive position against rival territorial expansions.

The castle grounds reflect the traditional Japanese social hierarchy, with different areas designated for samurai residences based on their military ranks.

Visitors can explore the remaining stone foundations and earthwork structures by following marked walking paths throughout the historical castle grounds.

The castle design incorporated natural terrain features into its defenses, with steep slopes and water elements forming integral parts of the fortification.
