Takatenjin Castle, Japanese castle in Kakegawa, Japan
The fortress extends across Mount Kakuo with two peaks connected by a narrow pathway measuring 50 meters long and 10 meters wide.
The initial construction of the castle began in 1469 under Asahina Yasuhiro to control the Totomi province during the Sengoku period.
The castle design follows the yamashiro style, incorporating the natural mountain terrain with dry moats and earthen ramparts instead of stone walls.
The castle ruins feature several hiking trails maintained by Kakegawa city, leading visitors through different sections of the fortification complex.
The castle layout forms a Z-shape pattern across the mountain peaks, with the eastern section containing the original fortification and inner bailey.
