Château d'Aoyagi, Japanese castle in Kakunodate, Japan
The stone walls and moats of Château d'Aoyagi rest on elevated ground, providing a strategic view over the surrounding rivers and forests of the region.
Constructed in the early 14th century, the castle served as a military fortification and residence for samurai families during the Edo period of Japan.
The castle represents a testament to the feudal system, where samurai warriors maintained control over trade routes and local governance in medieval Japan.
Visitors can access the castle grounds through nearby train stations, with multilingual information signs and guided tours available throughout the premises.
The castle grounds transform during spring when cherry blossoms cover the ancient stone foundations, marking the seasonal changes in the Kakunodate region.
