Sunpu Castle, located in Shizuoka, Japan, is a historic site with origins tracing back to the late 16th century. It was built under the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, who later retired there. The castle served as a strategic and administrative center during the Edo period. Although much of the original structure has been lost over time, the site has been partially reconstructed, including the main gate and several watchtowers. Today, Sunpu Castle Park offers visitors a glimpse into Japan's feudal past, featuring beautiful gardens and remnants of the castle's stone walls and moats.
