第一次足利城之戰

The stone and wooden fortifications of Ashikaga Castle stood atop a steep hillside, incorporating natural terrain features into its defensive layout.

During the first battle of Ashikaga Castle in 1439, the structure became a central point of conflict between regional lords competing for territorial control.

The castle exemplified the architectural principles of Sengoku period fortifications, with multiple defensive rings protecting the central keep from potential invasions.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following a marked hiking trail that leads through forested slopes to the former fortress location.

The fortress design integrated steep cliffs on three sides, creating natural barriers that reduced the need for extensive artificial defensive structures.
