Chiba Castle, also known as Inohana Castle, is located in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It was originally constructed in 1126 by Chiba Tsuneshige, a prominent samurai. The castle served as the seat of the Chiba clan, who were influential during the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. The original structure no longer exists; however, a reconstructed version of the castle was built in 1967 to serve as a local history museum. This modern reconstruction is based on historical documents and serves as a cultural and educational facility, providing insight into the region's rich feudal history.
