Château de Nakajima fort

The Nakajima Fort stands near the Kiso River, featuring wooden structures and stone foundations built according to traditional Japanese military architecture principles.

The castle emerged during the territorial expansion period of the late 16th century, serving as a strategic point for controlling movement along the Kiso River.

The fort represents the engineering capabilities of Japanese castle builders who integrated natural terrain features with defensive structures to create effective military installations.

Visitors can reach the castle site by following the marked walking paths from the nearest train station, with informational panels explaining the fortification layout.

The positioning of Nakajima Fort allowed its defenders to monitor both river traffic and land routes, making it an essential checkpoint for medieval trade.
