Gold-plated roof tiles apparent ruins of feudal warlord's castle

Ruins believed to be those of stone walls and a moat of the original Fushimi Castle, also known as Shigetsu Castle, are shown to the press in Kyoto, western Japan, on June 18, 2015, after being discovered at a housing construction site in the ancient capital's Fushimi Ward.
