Kururi, Kimitsu, Chiba 292-0422, Japan
The Kururi Castle Ruins are the remnants of a historic Japanese castle located in the city of Kisarazu, Chiba Prefecture. The castle was originally built during the Kamakura period (1185-1333) and played a significant role in the region's history, particularly during the Sengoku period (15th-17th century) when it was under the control of various feudal lords.
Although the castle no longer stands, visitors can explore the ruins, which include remnants of the castle’s walls, moats, and foundation. The site offers panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the city of Kisarazu and the nearby Boso Peninsula. A notable feature of the ruins is the well-preserved stone walls, which give visitors a glimpse into the castle’s former grandeur.
The Kururi Castle Ruins are also surrounded by lush nature, making it a popular spot for hiking and enjoying the outdoors. The site is particularly scenic in spring when the cherry blossoms bloom, adding to its historical charm.
Today, the ruins serve as a peaceful and educational site, offering a deeper understanding of Japan's feudal past. It is a great destination for history enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those interested in traditional Japanese castles.
