Miki Castle, Japanese castle in Miki, Japan
The castle stands on elevated terrain near the Minogawa River, featuring stone foundations and earthen walls that extend across multiple levels.
Built in 1492 by Bessho Noriharu, the castle underwent a two-year siege by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces from 1578 to 1580, ending with the lord's ritual suicide.
The castle site preserves fortification elements from the Sengoku period, reflecting medieval Japanese military architecture and defense strategies.
The castle grounds, now part of Uenomaru Park, include informational panels, walking paths, and parking facilities for visitors exploring the historical site.
The remaining defensive structures built by Hideyoshi during the siege demonstrate techniques used to encircle and isolate medieval Japanese fortresses.
