Takanosu Castle, Hill castle in Hakone, Japan.
The castle stands 834 meters above sea level on Mount Takanosu, providing strategic views across the surrounding mountains and valleys of Hakone region.
The Hojo Clan built this fortification as a defensive position against Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces during the 1590 Siege of Odawara.
The mountain location of Takanosu Castle reflects Japanese military engineering principles of utilizing natural terrain for defense during feudal periods.
Visitors can reach the castle site by following the Yusaka trail from Hakone Yumoto station, which involves an 850-meter elevation gain over 7 kilometers.
Stone-paved sections of the original castle path remain visible, though they become particularly slippery during wet weather conditions.
