Sengoku Dynasty

Tsuruga Castle, the primary stronghold of the Ashina clan during the Sengoku era, stands as a testament to the region's tumultuous history. Surrounded by rivers and moats, it is one of the most defensible castles in the Tōhoku region, later expanded by the Gamo and Matsudaira clans, showcasing a blend of architectural styles and fortifications.

The castle features towering stone walls, a central keep with ornate wooden structures, and a series of defensive moats filled with clear water. Cherry blossom trees line the pathways, adding a touch of beauty to its formidable presence.
