Château de Jisenjo

The stone walls and wooden structures of Jisenjo Castle extend across multiple defensive rings on a strategic hilltop position overlooking the surrounding valleys.

Built during the Sengoku period, Jisenjo Castle served as a regional administrative center and military stronghold for local feudal lords until the Meiji Restoration.

The castle layout reflects traditional Japanese military architecture with its concentric circles of defense and central keep positioned for maximum territorial control.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails through the forested slopes, with information panels explaining the site's former structure.

The remaining foundation stones of Jisenjo Castle demonstrate the advanced engineering methods used by Japanese castle builders to secure structures on mountainous terrain.
