Konosumiyama Castle, Hill castle in Toyooka, Japan.

Konosumiyama Castle stands at an elevation of 140 meters on an independent hill, featuring defensive structures including moats, earthen walls, and stone foundations.

Built in 1382 by Yamana Tokiyoshi, the castle served as a strategic stronghold until 1569 when Hashiba Hideyoshi's forces captured it during the territorial expansion.

The castle ruins, combined with Arikoyama Castle, received recognition as a National Historic Site of Japan, preserving the medieval military architecture.

The castle site requires a 30-minute walk from the Torii bus stop, with ropes and signs marking the path to guide visitors through the steep terrain.

During the Onin War, the castle gathered 26,000 cavalry troops from various Yamana territories before their deployment to Kyoto under Yamana Sozen's command.
