Takebeyama Castle, Medieval castle ruins on Mount Takebe in Maizuru, Japan

Stone walls and defensive structures remain on Mount Takebe, reaching 315 meters in elevation with views extending across Maizuru Bay.

The Isshiki clan constructed Takebeyama Castle in 1336 as a strategic base during the Northern and Southern Courts period of Japan.

The mountain site represents the medieval military architecture of Japan through its remaining fortification elements and strategic position overlooking the region.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through hiking trails that lead to the summit, where they can examine both medieval remains and military structures.

The site contains both medieval castle foundations and later Imperial Army gun battery installations, showing centuries of military presence on Mount Takebe.
