Château de Yamaga

The Yamaga Castle features a central wooden tenshu structure with multiple defensive rings positioned on elevated terrain overlooking the surrounding landscape.

During the Edo period, this fortress served as a strategic military outpost controlling trade routes and monitoring movement through the Chikuzen region.

The castle architecture reflects traditional Japanese building methods with wooden beam construction, stone foundations, and specialized defensive features typical of feudal structures.

Visitors reach the castle grounds through a series of preserved gates leading to exhibits displaying samurai artifacts and historical documents from the region.

The castle incorporates natural terrain features into its defensive system, with precisely angled walls designed to deflect projectiles during medieval warfare.
