Château de Jing Shicheng, Mountain fortress in Tottori Prefecture, Japan

The stone walls and foundations of Kageishi Castle remain atop a hill, creating a defensive structure with multiple rings extending from the central area.

Wada Yoshimune constructed Kageishi Castle in 1559 during the Sengoku period, establishing it as a strategic point for controlling the surrounding territories.

The name Kageishi translates to Shadow Stone in Japanese, reflecting the geological characteristics of the mountains where the castle stands.

Visitors reach the castle ruins through a hiking trail that leads to elevated positions offering views across the Tottori landscape.

The castle foundation includes distinct defensive circles, with the honmaru central area connecting to outer fortification rings through strategic pathways.
