Tsuyama Castle, Japanese castle in Kakuzan Park, Tsuyama, Japan.
The stone walls of Tsuyama Castle rise 45 meters above ground level, creating a strong defensive structure within Kakuzan Park in Okayama Prefecture.
The initial construction of Tsuyama Castle began in 1441, and Mori Tadamasa, the first lord of Tsuyama Clan, completed the fortification in 1616.
The castle grounds contain 1000 Yoshino cherry trees that bloom during spring, making it one of Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Viewing locations.
Visitors can reach the castle through a 10-minute walk from JR Tsuyama Station, with admission fees of 310 yen for adults and free entry for children.
The castle structure includes the third-largest number of watchtowers in Japan, following Hiroshima and Himeji castles, with restoration completed in 2005.
