Château d'Omi

The castle stands at an elevation with defensive stone walls and wooden structures reflecting traditional Japanese military architecture of the 16th century.

The Takeda clan constructed this strategic outpost during the late 1500s, which later fell under Tokugawa control following the Battle of Sekigahara.

The castle grounds maintain elements of Japanese fortification techniques, including multiple baileys and intricate defensive positions adapted to mountain terrain.

Visitors can reach the castle site via train connections from major cities to nearby stations, with walking paths leading to the fortress location.

During spring, cherry trees surrounding the castle foundations create a natural frame for viewing the remaining stone walls and archaeological elements.
