Sakasai Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Bando, Japan
The castle complex contains reconstructed two-story towers, gates, and a main residence positioned on a gentle elevation surrounded by former wetlands.
Built around 1450 by Tsunemune Sakai, the fortress changed hands to the Hojo clan in 1536 and remained active until its abandonment in 1590.
The restored main hall displays traditional Japanese architecture with tatami floors, sliding doors, and a rock garden reflecting medieval design principles.
The castle grounds function as a public park with parking facilities and allow visitors to explore the interior of the reconstructed buildings.
The bell pond within the castle grounds derives its name from a legend about a lord's daughter who drowned herself wearing a bell during the castle's fall.
