Fukushima Castle, Medieval fortress in Goshogawara, Japan
The stone foundations and earthen walls of Fukushima Castle extend across multiple levels on elevated ground near the Iwaki River.
The castle served as a military stronghold during the Muromachi Period, when the Date clan maintained control of the region from this strategic position.
The castle design incorporated traditional Japanese architectural elements with defensive features, including wooden gates and multiple baileys for protection.
The former castle grounds now contain educational panels and markers that detail the structure's original layout and historical significance.
The fortress maintained its original name Daibutsu Castle until 1592, when military commanders changed it to Fukushima for strategic purposes.
