- Hachioji Castle Ruins
- Travel / Tourism
- Tokyo Hachioujishi Motohachioujimachi 3-2715-2 (Administrative Building)
- A nationally designated Historic Site in Motohachioji-machi, Hachioji City, Tokyo. Hachioji castle was built at the end of the Warring States period by Hojo Ujiteru. Japan's last large-scale mountain castle, it fell during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's campaign to gain complete control of the Kanto region. 400 years after its downfall, in 1990 the results of archeological surveys were used to recreate the castle's stone walls and paving and the site was opened to visitors. Due to its value as the ruins of a Warring States period mountain castle, Hachioji Castle has also been selected as one of Japan's 100 greatest castles by the Japan Castle Foundation.

- Tokyo Setagaya-ku Gotokuji 2-14-1
- A five-minute walk from Miyanosaka Station. This park is located on the site of Setagaya Castle and was designated a Historic Site by the Tokyo metropolitan government in 1919. Setagaya Castle belonged to the Kirashi clan, a clan connected to Ashikaga clan, which in turn was a branch of the Seiwa Genji clan. It is believed that the Kirashi clan built the castle after being given the land as a reward by Kanto shogun deputy Ashikaga Motouji in 1366. The Kirashi abandoned the castle after being defeated by the Hojo clan in the Siege of Odawara in 1590. Today, portions of the castles stone and earth base and its dry moat still remain.
