Nobeoka Castle, Japanese castle in Nobeoka, Japan.
The castle stands on a 51-meter hill where the Gokase and Ose rivers meet, featuring stone walls reaching 22 meters in height.
Built in 1603 by Kato Yoshimune, the castle served as a strategic fortification during the Edo period under the control of various feudal lords.
The castle grounds host annual festivals with traditional performances, bringing the local community together to celebrate Japanese heritage.
Visitors can reach the castle from Nobeoka Station via a 10-minute bus ride to City Hall, followed by a 5-minute walk to the entrance.
The castle walls earned the name 'Thousand-Person Killer' due to their construction method, where removing one stone could trigger a complete collapse.
