Iwakiri Castle, Mountain castle ruins in Miyagino-ku, Japan.
Iwakiri Castle extends across 600 meters in length and 400 meters in width on the slopes of Mount Takamori at 106 meters elevation.
The Isawa clan established this fortress in the 14th century and later changed their name to Rusu clan, serving as retainers of the Kamakura shogunate.
The eastern section of the castle contained residential quarters measuring 80 meters in diameter, reflecting medieval Japanese architectural design principles.
The castle site stands two kilometers northwest of Iwakiri Station on the JR East Tohoku Main Line within Takamoriyama Park.
The fortress controlled the strategic junction of Nanakita River and Sunaoishi River, maintaining communications between Taga Castle and surrounding territories.
