Ogawa Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Chita District, Japan
The castle site features earthen ramparts, baileys, and fortified areas spread across gentle hills in a residential neighborhood of Higashiura town.
The fortress, constructed between 1469 and 1487 by Sadamori Mizuno, served as the Mizuno clan residence for 130 years until its abandonment in 1606.
The relocated castle gate now stands at Kenkon-in Temple, which functions as the Mizuno family temple and contains the graves of four generations.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking a 15-minute walk from Ogawa Station on the JR Taketoyo Line or driving via the Higashiura-Chita interchange.
The castle grounds include two distinct main enclosures, an outer bailey, and multiple residential compounds that housed retainers of the Mizuno clan.
