Château de Shigashiro, Japanese castle in Nagano Prefecture, Japan
The stone and wooden fortifications of Shigashiro Castle rise on a strategic hilltop location at coordinates 36.25°N, 138.53°E.
Built during the feudal period, Shigashiro Castle served as a military stronghold for controlling key routes through the mountainous Nagano region.
The castle architecture incorporates traditional Japanese defensive elements including stone walls, wooden towers, and multiple gates following medieval construction techniques.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking a local bus from Nagano Station to the base of the hill and following marked hiking trails.
The castle's elevated position at over 1000 meters above sea level made it an effective observation post for monitoring movement in the valleys below.
