Akutagawayama Castle, Castle ruins on Mount Miyoshi in Takatsuki, Japan
The castle ruins stretch across 500 meters from east to west and 400 meters from north to south, featuring earthen ramparts and defensive trenches.
Built before 1516 by Hosokawa Takakuni, the castle changed ownership multiple times until its abandonment after the 1568 attacks by Oda Nobunaga.
The castle ruins earned recognition as number 159 in the Japan Castle Foundation's selection of Notable Japanese Castles in March 2017.
Access requires taking a bus from JR Takatsuki Station to Tsukawaki stop, followed by a 30-minute walk through partially unpaved mountain paths.
Recent excavations at the main bailey revealed building foundations and fire traces, confirming the presence of residential structures at the mountain summit.
