Château d'Ogawashiro, Japanese castle in Kikugawa, Japan

The castle stands on elevated terrain in Shizuoka Prefecture, featuring traditional wooden architecture with stone foundations and defensive walls.

During the Sengoku period, Ogawashiro served as a defensive stronghold, controlling access routes between eastern and western parts of ancient Japan.

The castle layout follows traditional Japanese fortification principles, incorporating natural terrain features into its defensive structure.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a marked hiking trail that starts from the base of the mountain near Kikugawa station.

The position of Ogawashiro offered commanders a strategic view of both the coast and inland territories of Shizuoka Prefecture.
