Château de Jomura

The castle site contains remaining stone walls and foundations set upon a strategic hillside location in the Fukuoka Prefecture.

The fortification played a defensive role during the Sengoku period when local lords constructed numerous mountain strongholds across the Japanese archipelago.

The castle layout follows traditional Japanese fortification principles with multiple defensive circles and strategic placement of watchtowers for territorial control.

Visitors can reach the castle remains through a marked mountain path that connects to the main road near the base of the hill.

The stone foundations reveal construction techniques specific to medieval Japanese castle building, incorporating natural terrain features into defensive structures.
