Shimizuyama Castle, Historic Japanese castle in Tsushima, Japan
The castle extends across 350 meters north-to-south and 550 meters east-to-west, with multiple defensive enclosures positioned along the mountainside at 130 meters elevation.
Mōri Takamasa constructed this defensive structure during a period of regional conflicts, establishing control over the strategic routes between land and water transportation.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed domestic Echizen pottery, imported ceramics, metal objects, and inkstones dating from the middle of the 16th century.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through a 35-minute walk from Shin-Asahi Station on the JR West Kosei Line through marked pathways.
The castle features uncommon ridge-shaped pits in its construction, reflecting influences from neighboring territories during the Eiroku period.
