Château de Takagi

Takagi Castle is a Japanese fortification in Nobeoka situated on elevated terrain with thick stone walls and multiple defensive structures. The site features well-preserved foundation stones and rampart systems that showcase the military design of a traditional Japanese castle.

The fortress was established as a military garrison during the Muromachi period, securing strategic control over the northern region of Miyazaki Prefecture. This positioning enabled defense of important trade routes and territories in the area.

The castle displays typical Japanese fortification design with curved stone foundations and wooden elements that reflect local building traditions of the region.

The site remains open year-round with marked pathways guiding visitors through the preserved defensive structures and foundation stones. The terrain is easy to navigate, with the elevated location offering broad views of the surrounding area.

The site employs locally quarried stone selected for its suitability to the tropical climate of the Kyushu region. This choice of materials and construction methods shows how fortifications were adapted to the natural conditions of their location.
