Matsudai Castle, Hill castle in Tokamachi, Japan.
The castle ruins feature extensive earthen walls and interconnected baileys situated across steep slopes and terraces within a natural forest setting.
Constructed by Kazama Sadakatsu, the castle served as a vital link in Uesugi Kenshin's network of fortifications controlling routes to the Kanto region.
The castle grounds integrate contemporary art installations throughout Nobutai park, connecting the historical site with modern artistic expressions.
Visitors can access the site via the Hokuhoku Line to Matsudai Station, with rental bicycles and shuttle buses available from 10:00 AM.
The reconstructed castle tower, built in 1981, houses a golden teahouse on its upper floor, drawing inspiration from Oda Nobunaga's design.
