Kiyoshiki Castle, Medieval castle in Shinano Province, Japan

The castle features stone walls, wooden structures, and multiple defensive layers incorporating moats, gates, and observation towers for military surveillance.

The fortress served as a military headquarters during the Sengoku period under the Takeda clan after their conquest in 1550.

The structure represents traditional Japanese defensive architecture, combining strategic military design with regional construction techniques of wood and stone.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds through marked paths that lead to different sections, including fortified gates and inner courtyards.

The castle maintains original defensive features from the feudal period, including narrow windows designed for archers and stone-dropping platforms.
