Aizuwakamatsu Castle, also known as Tsuruga Castle, is a historic fortress located in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Originally constructed in 1384 by Ashina Naomori, the castle has endured numerous reconstructions and played a significant role during the Boshin War in the late 19th century. The current structure, rebuilt in the 1960s, is a faithful replica featuring traditional red-tiled roofs, which are rare among Japanese castles. The castle now serves as a museum, offering visitors insights into the samurai culture and the history of the Aizu region.
