Hakuchi Castle

The stone fortification stands on elevated terrain with strategic views across the surrounding valleys and access routes through the mountains.

During the feudal period, this defensive structure formed part of a network of military installations controlling transportation corridors in eastern Shikoku.

The castle design incorporates traditional Japanese architectural elements including wooden buildings, stone foundations, and multi-level defensive walls.

Visitors reach the castle site by following marked hiking trails through forested slopes, requiring appropriate walking shoes and water supplies.

The positioning of watchtowers enables direct line of sight to neighboring castles, facilitating communication through signal fires in medieval times.
