Inamura Castle, Hilltop castle ruins in Tateyama, Japan

The castle stands at an elevation of 64 meters on Shiroyama Hill, featuring a semicircular layout that extends 500 meters across the ridge top.

Constructed between 1486 and 1491 under Satomi Yoshizane, the castle served as a strategic fortification controlling access points to Tokyo Bay.

The castle forms part of the protected Satomi clan castle ruins, representing the architectural and military developments of the Muromachi period.

The site contains multiple terraced levels connected by paths, allowing visitors to explore different sections of the former fortification grounds.

The inner bailey measured 50 meters in length with a trapezoidal shape, protected by clay ramparts and surrounded by dry moats.
