Yanagawa Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Date, Japan.
The stone foundations and earthen walls of Yanagawa Castle spread across multiple levels on a hill, featuring reconstructed gardens and moats in Fukushima Prefecture.
Built in the early Kamakura period, Yanagawa Castle served as the Date clan headquarters for nearly 300 years until its decommissioning in 1644.
The castle grounds include the restored Heart-Shaped Pond garden and the Yanagawa Hachimangu Shrine, which held religious significance for the Date clan.
The castle site offers dedicated parking areas near Yanagawa High School and can be reached within 5 minutes on foot from Yanagawa Kibou-no-Mori Park Station.
The castle grounds contain a massive masugata gate complex hidden within a residential area, featuring intact water moats and defensive structures.
