Yuhaka Castle

Yuhaka Castle [ゆはか富, also known as Yuhaka Fortress] is a 12th-century ruined stronghold located in Dakkai, Kawara Prefecture. Its name is dialectal, roughly translating to 'good power fortress'. It is sometimes referenced under the name Jiaru Castle in feudal documents.
Yuhaka was built in around 1190, and was lived in by various families of the Yu clan throughout the centuries. The castle's keep was rebuilt in 1985 from wood, and was recreated based on paintings of contemporary castles of the era. It houses a museum that holds items pertaining to the castle's history.
