Ōtaki Castle, Japanese castle in Otaki, Japan.
The stone foundations and wooden structures of Otaki Castle rise against the mountains of southeastern Chiba Prefecture, featuring four distinct floors with observation windows.
The Satomi clan constructed the original fortification in the early 1500s, and Honda Tadakatsu rebuilt it in 1590 under Tokugawa Ieyasu's orders.
The castle museum displays extensive collections of nihonto swords, samurai armor, and Edo period artifacts across multiple exhibition floors.
Visitors can reach the castle through a 15-minute walk from Otaki Station or take direct buses from Tokyo, with admission fees of 200 yen for adults.
The current castle structure, reconstructed in 1975, follows designs from 1832 sketches due to the absence of original architectural documentation.
