| Taki-no Castle (滝の城, Taki-no-jō, literally means "waterfall castle") is a flatland-hilltop Japanese castle ruin located in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture. It was on a key route between the northern Kanto Plain and Hachioji. The most recent structure was built in the 15th century by Ōishi Sadahisa and existed during the 16th-century Sengoku period of Japanese history. In 1546, the Hojo of Odawara took control and in 1569 possession passed to the Takeda.[1] Then Go-Hōjō clan expanded and improved the defences of the castle.[2] |
