Château de Yamazaki

The stone foundations and remaining walls of Yamazaki Castle stand on strategic grounds overlooking transportation routes in the Hiroshima region.

The fortress was built during the Muromachi period in the 15th century as a military stronghold for local lords controlling regional territories.

The castle ruins represent the architectural methods of Japanese castle construction, which combined wood and stone materials according to traditional techniques.

The castle site provides walking paths through stone structures and foundation remains, with informational signs explaining the historical layout of the fortification.

The remaining defensive structures demonstrate how Japanese castles incorporated natural landscape features into their fortification designs.
