Sogo Castle, Medieval fortress in Takamatsu, Japan.
The stone walls and moats of Sogo Castle extend across a tongue-shaped plateau between two rivers in eastern Takamatsu.
Constructed during the Northern and Southern Courts period, the fortress remained under Sogo clan control for 230 years until 1584.
The current Shonen-ji Temple stands on the former main bailey site, preserving the spiritual connection to the medieval military complex.
Visitors can access the castle ruins by car or train, with free parking available at the temple grounds for those exploring the site.
The fortress incorporated a deceptive bridge mechanism on its northern side, designed to trap incoming enemy forces during attacks.
