Château de SaruKakejo, Feudal castle in Okayama Prefecture, Japan
The stone walls and wooden structures of Sarukakejo Castle rise from an elevated position, featuring multiple levels and traditional Japanese architectural elements.
During the Sengoku period, this fortification served as a strategic military outpost for local lords to maintain control over surrounding territories.
The castle represents the Japanese feudal system where samurai warriors resided within the compound according to their rank and status.
Visitors can access the castle grounds through marked pathways, with dedicated parking areas located at the base of the mountain.
The castle's name, which translates to 'Monkey Hook Castle,' reflects its location on a steep cliff that even monkeys would find difficult to climb.
