Komine Castle

Komine Castle (小峰城, Komine-jō?) is a castle in the city of Shirakawa, Fukushima, Japan. It may be also called simply by the name of Shirakawa Castle (白河城, Shirakawa-jō?).

In English, its literal meaning could be translated as "Small Peak Castle". Along with the Morioka Castle and the Aizuwakamatsu Castle, it may be considered as one of the three most important castles of the Tōhoku region of Japan.

It is currently situated inside the Shiroyama Park, where public displays of flowers happen during the year. The park and the castle are located close to the Shirakawa Station (of the Tōhoku Main Line), approximately a 7-minute walk.
