Kaneyama Castle, Mountain fortress in Kani, Japan
Kaneyama Castle extends across 300 meters of mountaintop with stone walls, clay fortifications, and multiple defensive enclosures at 273 meters elevation.
The castle originated in 1537 under Saito Masayoshi's direction and later became a strategic base for the Oda clan through their general Mori Yoshinari.
The castle ruins received National Historic Site status in 1981 and earned recognition among the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles in 2017.
Visitors need to walk 60 minutes from Akechi Station on the Meitetsu Hiromi Line to reach the castle site near the Kiso River.
The inner bailey measured 50 meters square with a watchtower at the entrance, while secondary areas utilized the mountain's natural slopes for defense.
