Itami Castle, Medieval Japanese castle in Itami, Japan.
Itami Castle extends 1.7 kilometers from north to south and 0.8 kilometers from east to west, incorporating three outer fortresses at strategic points.
In 1574, Araki Murashige demolished the original structure and rebuilt it as a major regional fortification before his rebellion against Oda Nobunaga in 1579.
The castle exemplifies Sogamae fortification design, where streets, houses, and the entire town formed an integrated defensive system within moats and earthen ramparts.
The castle ruins stand directly in front of Itami Station, with archaeological excavations revealing remnants of moats, wells, and stone walls from its medieval period.
Natural waterways, including the Itami, Daroku, and Ina rivers, formed part of the castle's defensive system, connected by additional moats on western and southern sides.
