Amaga Castle, Mountain castle ruins in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

The stone foundations of Amaga Castle stand at coordinates 31.962306, 131.293667, offering views across valleys and mountain ranges of Miyazaki Prefecture.

Following the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Shimazu Yoshihiro constructed Amaga Castle as a defensive position against potential advances from the Ito clan.

The castle grounds transform into a public park during spring, when 1,300 Yoshino cherry trees create a seasonal celebration known as Amaga Castle Cherry Blossom Festival.

The castle museum opens from 9:00 to 16:30, with final entry at 16:00, accessible by bus from Miyazaki Station followed by a 15-minute walk from Takaoka Elementary School stop.

Amaga Castle belongs to a category of Japanese fortifications that appear to float above clouds during specific weather conditions between autumn and spring mornings.
