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.

Present site

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