Ōnishi Castle

The castle incorporates multiple defensive walls and moats, constructed with traditional Japanese fortification techniques that integrate the surrounding mountainous landscape.

Originally built in the late 16th century by the Matsui clan, this castle served as a strategic stronghold during conflicts among regional samurai factions.

The castle grounds host regular events where visitors experience traditional Japanese martial arts demonstrations and historical reenactments of samurai life.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins via regional bus services from Tokushima Station, with guided tours available through the local tourism office.

The castle foundation maintains original stone arrangements that demonstrate early Japanese military architectural methods for securing hillside fortifications.
