Tajihi-Sarugake Castle, Hill castle in Akitakata, Japan.
Tajihi-Sarugake Castle stands on a mountain summit, featuring stone walls and defensive structures that exemplify Japanese fortification techniques from the feudal period.
Mōri Hiromoto established this stronghold before 1500, and his son Mōri Motonari spent 23 years at this location as leader of the Tajihi Mōri clan.
The castle ruins represent the architectural and military innovations of Japanese feudal lords during the Sengoku period of territorial conflicts.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked trails, and information panels throughout the site explain the structure's historical elements.
This fortress earned recognition as a National Historic Site in 1940, sharing this designation with the nearby Yoshida-Kōriyama Castle.
