Château de Nomishiro

The Nomishiro Castle stands on a strategic mountain location in Yamanashi Prefecture, incorporating stone foundations and wooden structures typical of Japanese fortification architecture.

The castle served as a military stronghold during the warring states period of Japan, protecting the region from potential invasions through its elevated position.

The design of Nomishiro Castle follows traditional Japanese castle construction principles, with multiple levels of defense and carefully positioned observation points.

The castle remains are accessible through a mountain path that requires appropriate hiking footwear and takes approximately 45 minutes to reach from the base.

The stone walls of Nomishiro Castle feature a specific construction method that allowed defenders to maintain clear lines of sight across the surrounding valleys.
