Sunpu Castle, Japanese castle in Aoi-ku, Shizuoka, Japan
The castle features a complex defensive system with triple moats, stone walls, and multiple gates surrounding its central fortification structures.
Tokugawa Ieyasu constructed Sunpu Castle in 1585 and later chose it as his retirement residence after establishing the Tokugawa shogunate.
The castle grounds transformed into Sunpu Park, where visitors experience traditional architecture through reconstructed gates and defensive towers.
Visitors can reach the castle site by taking a 15-minute walk from JR Shizuoka Station or 12 minutes from Shin-Shizuoka Station.
An artificial mountain within the castle park replicates the shape of Mount Fuji, creating a connection between the fortress and regional landscape.
