Château de TakaTomejo, Japanese castle in Kitasaku District, Japan.

The fortress stands atop a strategic hill at 36.39°N latitude, featuring traditional wooden architecture with stone foundations and defensive watchtowers.

Built during the Sengoku period, this military stronghold served as a defensive position for local lords controlling trade routes through central Japan.

The structure reflects Japanese feudal architecture principles with its multi-layered defense system, including the central tower and surrounding fortified zones.

Visitors can reach the castle grounds through mountain paths, with traditional Japanese gardens surrounding the remaining stone foundations.

The castle incorporates natural terrain features into its defensive layout, with steep slopes on three sides enhancing its protective capabilities.
