Hakusan Castle, Mountain fortress in Nirasaki, Japan.
Hakusan Castle extends across a ridge 150 meters east to west and 180 meters north to south, featuring vertical dry moats and two large defensive trenches.
The castle served as the primary fortress of Takeda Nobuyoshi during the Heian period and later became a stronghold for Tokugawa Ieyasu against the Odawara Hōjō clan.
The castle takes its name from the Hakusan Jinja, a Shinto shrine that existed on the mountain before the fortress construction.
The castle ruins are accessible through a short walk from the Nabeyamagami bus stop, which connects to Nirasaki Station on the JR East Chūō Main Line.
The site retains excellent structural elements including multiple kuruwa enclosures, earthworks, and gate foundations, surviving two attempts to convert it into a quarry.
