Yokote Castle


Yokote castle was built by the Onodera clan in 1550, in Akita prefecture. .

While it was constructed in 1500s, it's believed there were fortifications on site before that. The castle was of a modest size, consisting mainly of two features, the main enclosure, and the secondary, Ninomaru. It was burnt down in the Boshin War.

There is a reconstruction of the keep, built in 1965, on the present site, in the main enclosure.
