Château de koi, Mountain fortress in Nishi-ku, Hiroshima, Japan
The castle occupies Chakusuyama mountain with primary and secondary courts, surrounded by moats and defensive earthworks integrated into natural terrain features.
In 1515, Takeda Motoshige attempted to capture this strategic fortification for several months but failed to penetrate its robust defensive systems.
The castle exemplifies traditional Japanese mountain fortification architecture with its honmaru main bailey and ni-no-maru secondary enclosure design.
Starting from the Fujihaiutsu Fire Station bus stop, visitors reach the castle entrance through a marked hiking trail with installed guide ropes.
The exposed bedrock formations along the castle paths provide geological insights into the natural defensive advantages of the mountain location.
