Yokosuka Castle, Japanese castle in Kakegawa, Japan
The stone walls of Yokosuka Castle incorporate rounded river rocks from the Tenryu River, creating distinct fortification patterns along its perimeter.
Built in 1578 under Tokugawa Ieyasu's command, the castle served as a strategic base for operations against Takeda clan's Takatenjin Castle.
The castle earned the name 'Two-Headed Castle' due to its unusual design featuring two main gates on both the eastern and western sides.
The castle grounds now function as a public park with preserved stone walls, moats, and earthen fortifications accessible through walking paths.
Several original architectural elements survive, including roof ornaments and demon tiles preserved at Onkoji Temple and parts of the palace at Yusan Temple.
