Karatsu Castle, located in Karatsu, Saga Prefecture, Japan, is a picturesque historical landmark known for its striking beauty and strategic coastal position. Constructed in the early 17th century by Terasawa Hirotaka, a vassal of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the castle served as a significant fortification during the Edo period. The castle features a unique design with its main keep perched atop a hill, offering stunning views of the Genkai Sea and the surrounding landscape. Although the original structure was dismantled in the late 19th century, a faithful reconstruction was completed in 1966, allowing visitors to explore its rich history and enjoy panoramic vistas from its observation deck.
