Kinjō Castle

The stone walls and wooden structures of Kinjo Castle rise along the Minoji road, incorporating defensive towers at strategic corners of the complex.

Built during Japan's feudal period, Kinjo Castle functioned as a military stronghold and administrative center for the local daimyo who controlled the region.

The castle grounds maintain traditional Japanese architectural elements, reflecting the transition from purely military fortifications to centers of regional governance.

Visitors reach the castle through local transportation networks, with guided tours offering detailed information about the fortress and its structural components.

The castle's position along ancient trade routes made it an essential checkpoint for monitoring merchant activities and maintaining regional security during the Edo period.
