御所ヶ谷神籠石

The Goshogadani Kanegoshi stands as a stone fortress with strategic defensive walls positioned across elevated terrain near Mount Hōman.

Built during the 7th century, this fortification represented early Japanese military engineering with stone walls constructed without mortar binding techniques.

The fortress design reflects traditional Japanese defensive architecture, incorporating natural terrain features and precisely arranged stones for structural integrity.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site through marked hiking trails starting from the base of Mount Hōman in Fukuoka Prefecture.

The fortress walls contain granite stones weighing up to several tons, positioned perfectly to maintain stability for over 1300 years.
