Descripción del sitio
| Link Yamagata Castle is a flat land style Japanese Castle located in Yamagata. Yamagata Castle was first constructed in 1356 by Shiba Kaneyori (who later changed his name to Mogami. In 1592, under Mogami Yoshiaki, Yamagata Castle was substaintially reconstructed to create a much larger castle. The new design included a sannomaru and a ninomaru, however there was never a classical large scale donjon. The new design did include a three story yagura (turrent). Today this a modern, but authentic reconstruction of the East Gate and the moat and walls are in good condition. |
