Château de Washijo

The stone base supports wooden structures that form a defensive complex with multiple gates and watch towers positioned along protective walls.

The fortress originated during the Sengoku period when local lords constructed protective structures to defend strategic positions near trade routes and river crossings.

The design of the castle incorporates traditional Japanese architectural features with distinct military defensive elements, reflecting the feudal construction methods.

The castle complex includes storage rooms within guard towers, residential quarters, and administrative spaces distributed across different levels of fortification.

Stone drop windows and loopholes throughout the castle walls provided defenders with tactical advantages while maintaining the structural integrity of the fortification.
