Magome Castle, Japanese castle ruins in Nakatsugawa, Japan
The stone foundations and remaining walls of Magome Castle stand on an elevated position, providing panoramic views across the Nakatsugawa region.
Built in the early 16th century during the Sengoku period, Magome Castle functioned as a strategic military outpost controlling trade routes between Kyoto and Edo.
The castle site represents the architectural and defensive techniques of feudal Japan, displaying the engineering methods used by samurai lords of the period.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking a train to Nakatsugawa Station, followed by a local bus and a moderate hiking trail through natural terrain.
The castle grounds connect to the Nakasendo Highway, a historical road where travelers can walk between the preserved post towns of Magome and Tsumago.
