Château de Yamaguchi

The stone walls and wooden structures of Yamaguchi Castle stand at an elevation of 260 meters, overlooking the surrounding agricultural plains of Mino Province.

Built during the Sengoku period, Yamaguchi Castle functioned as a military stronghold for local lords who controlled the northern territories of Mino Province.

The castle site contains multiple archaeological artifacts that demonstrate the medieval military architecture and defensive strategies of Japanese fortress construction.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a marked hiking path that starts from the base of the mountain and leads to the main fortification area.

The castle grounds feature stone foundations that incorporate natural rock formations into the defensive structure, following the mountain's natural contours.
