A must-visit for history fans, conveying the atmosphere of a Sengoku-period mountain castle. Located at an altitude of 350 meters, the Honmaru Palace and main gate have been restored using period-appropriate construction methods. Unlike flamboyant castles, it reproduces the simple yet powerful appearance of a "medieval castle," allowing you to feel the life and tension of ancient warriors. Surrounded by quiet mountains, the site deeply tells the history of Oku-Mikawa alongside seasonal nature.
