Château de Sojokejo, Mountain fortification in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
The castle structure stands on elevated terrain with stone foundations and wooden buildings following traditional Japanese architectural principles of the feudal period.
The fortification dates from the Sengoku period when local lords constructed defensive positions throughout the region to protect their territories from neighboring clans.
The castle represents the military architecture of medieval Japan, incorporating design elements that reflect the social hierarchy and defensive strategies of samurai warfare.
Visitors can reach the castle grounds through mountain paths that wind through forested areas, requiring appropriate walking shoes and seasonal weather preparation.
The position of the castle allows observers to monitor both the inland territory and coastal approaches, making it an effective command center during regional conflicts.
