Château de Hiwasa, Japanese castle in Minami, Japan.
The castle stands on a forested hilltop at 65 meters elevation, featuring defensive walls and a reconstructed main tower overlooking the surrounding coastal landscape.
Built in the late 16th century under the direction of the Hachisuka clan, the castle served as a strategic fortification during the Edo Period from 1603 to 1867.
The castle grounds maintain traditional Japanese architectural elements, reflecting the military and administrative functions of feudal period fortifications in Tokushima Prefecture.
Visitors can reach the castle through a twenty-minute walk from JR Hiwasa Station on the Mugi Line, with the site opening daily for guided tours.
The castle hill houses a population of wild monkeys and snakes, adding a natural element to the historical fortification.
