Hitotsuyanagi Castle, Japanese castle in Yamanaka, Japan
Built on a hill overlooking Yamanaka, Hitotsuyanagi Castle stood as a military fortification with strategic defensive structures and observation points.
The castle emerged during the late 16th century when regional lords constructed fortresses to protect their territories during Japan's period of civil conflicts.
The castle site represents the feudal architecture of Japan's military past, reflecting the organizational structure of samurai society in Yamanaka.
Information panels in Japanese and English guide visitors through the castle grounds, explaining the historical features of this mountain fortification.
The remaining foundation stones and earthworks demonstrate the engineering methods used by Japanese castle builders to integrate natural terrain defenses.
