Yokote Castle

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

[1] 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.

[2] 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.
