Château de Kajiyashiro

The Kajiyashiro Castle stands atop a hill overlooking strategic routes, featuring wooden fortifications and stone foundations typical of feudal Japanese architecture.

The fortress was constructed during the Sengoku period when regional lords needed defensive positions to maintain control over their territories in western Japan.

The castle exemplifies traditional Japanese military engineering principles with its strategic placement and integration of natural terrain features into defensive structures.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through hiking trails that lead to elevated viewpoints offering perspectives of Nagasaki's coastal landscape.

The fortress incorporated multiple rings of defense with specialized gates positioned at right angles, following classical Japanese castle design principles.
