Hachisuka Castle, Feudal fortress in Tokushima, Japan

The castle stands on Shiroyama hill, rising 60 meters above Tokushima city, featuring stone walls and complex gates along the natural terrain contours.

Hachisuka Iemasa constructed this military stronghold in 1585 after receiving the domain from Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the unification of Japan.

The castle grounds host regular educational programs about Japanese feudal architecture and military strategies from the Edo period for students and visitors.

Visitors reach the castle through a 20-minute walking path from the nearest bus stop, with guidance signs leading to the main entrance.

The castle belonged to the Hachisuka family, who transformed from their initial status as bandits to become influential feudal lords under Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
