Château de Hakusan, Mountain fortress in Owari Province, Japan.
The castle stands at an elevation on a strategic hill position, featuring dry moats, defensive walls, and multiple enclosures for protection.
The fortress provided defense for the surrounding region during the Sengoku period, serving as a military outpost against potential invasions from neighboring territories.
The castle reflects traditional Japanese fortification techniques with its mountain placement, earthwork construction methods, and architectural elements typical of feudal military structures.
Visitors can explore the remaining stone foundations and earthworks by following marked paths that lead through the former castle grounds.
The castle incorporates natural terrain features into its defenses, with steep slopes and strategic viewpoints allowing surveillance of approaching forces from multiple directions.
