Château de Migitakedakejo, Mountain castle in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.
The stone and wooden fortification stands atop Mount Migitake, featuring defensive walls that integrate with the natural terrain at 34 degrees north.
The castle construction began in 1333 during a period of regional conflicts, serving as a strategic outpost for controlling the surrounding territories.
The fortress represents the engineering methods of medieval Japanese military architecture with its system of gates, watchtowers, and stone foundations.
Visitors need to follow a mountain trail to reach the castle grounds, which requires appropriate footwear and carrying sufficient water supplies.
The castle's position at 131 degrees east longitude provides views extending across both the inland areas and the distant coastline.
