Kawashima Castle, Japanese castle in Yoshinogawa, Japan
The castle sits atop a 50-meter hill above the Yoshino River, featuring a concrete keep constructed in 1981 with modern interior elements.
Built in 1573 by Kawashima Koretada, the castle later became part of the Nine Castles of Awa under Hachisuka Iemasa's control in 1585.
The top floor of the castle exhibits replicas of samurai armor and traditional period clothing, representing elements of Japanese feudal military life.
Visitors can reach the castle within eight minutes by walking from JR Awakawashima Station on the JR Tokushima Line, with free entry to the grounds.
The castle served as a strategic military post with 300 soldiers commanded by Hayashi Tadakatsu to monitor the western regions of Awa province.
