高田城
Takada Castle is classified as a flatland castle (its layout: Rinkakushiki), and is located in Niigata Prefecture. During the pre-modern age, it found itself within the borders of Echigo Province. It is associated with the Matsudaira clan. Dates in use: 1614 - 1871.
Despite the difficulties of having to divert three rivers, four months was all it took to fashion this castle out of the landscape. It was built without a main tower but more unusually it was built without the stonework that is normally associated with Japanese castles. The original dominant building, a three-story turret, burnt down in 1870 and its replacement was built in 1993.
