Shibushi Castle, Japanese hilltop castle ruins in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan
The remains of Shibushi Castle include clay walls and dry moats situated on a rectangular hill measuring 400 meters long and 150 meters wide.
The Niiro clan controlled Shibushi Castle until 1538, when internal conflicts within the Shimazu clan led to their loss of power over the fortification.
The castle grounds host regular events throughout the year that showcase traditional Japanese customs and connect visitors with regional heritage.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking a 20-minute walk from JR Kyushu Shibushi Station to explore the historical fortification site.
The castle complex consists of four separate fortifications surrounding the urban center, with the main castle Uchijyo positioned at 50 meters elevation.
