Amagiri Castle, Mountain fortress in Zentsūji, Japan

The castle stands 350 meters above sea level on Mount Amagiri, controlling access to the Utazu port area during the Muromachi period.

Kagawa Kagenori constructed Amagiri Castle in 1364 as an auxiliary fortification to complement the existing Tadotsu Castle's defensive capabilities.

The fortress shares its mountain location with Mount Iyadani, which houses Iyadani-ji, temple number 71 of the 88 Shikoku Pilgrimage temples.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a 20-minute drive from Zentsuji Station on the JR Shikoku Dosan Line to explore the remaining stone walls.

The castle complex extends over 800 meters along mountain ridges, incorporating natural terrain features into its defensive structure with multiple enclosures.
