Saikazaki Castle, Japanese castle in Saikazaki, Japan
Located at the southern tip of Wakayama Prefecture, Saikazaki Castle stands on a strategic position overlooking the Kii Channel and surrounding islands.
Suzuki Magoichi established this fortification during the Sengoku period, making it the headquarters of the Saiga Ikki military group.
The castle represents Japanese military architecture and served as a critical defense point within the Kishu Domain's coastal fortification network.
The castle location provides clear views of Tomogashima, Awaji Island, and Shikoku, which made it effective for monitoring maritime activities.
The fortress remains one of the few structures from the period where the Saiga Ikki controlled the regional maritime trade routes.
