Château d'Uchimakijo, Medieval fortress in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan
The castle structure includes multiple defense rings with a central tower, guard posts, and stone walls positioned on elevated terrain.
Built during the warring states period of Japan, the castle served as both a military stronghold and regional administrative center.
The castle design incorporates traditional Japanese architectural elements with wooden structures and curved roofs typical of the feudal period.
Visitors can reach the castle site by following the mountain path that leads to the remaining foundation stones and defensive structures.
The strategic position of the castle provided commanders with clear views of the surrounding valleys for monitoring military movements.
