Torigoe Castle, Mountain fortress in Hakusan, Japan.
The stone walls and reconstructed gates of Torigoe Castle stand at an elevation providing views across the surrounding valleys of Ishikawa Prefecture.
Built in 1573, Torigoe Castle served as the final stronghold of the Ikkō-ikki religious movement until its fall to Oda Nobunaga's forces in 1580.
The castle remains were designated as a National Historic Site of Japan in 1985, along with the adjacent Futagata Castle ruins.
Access to the castle grounds is currently restricted due to landslides caused by heavy rainfall in August 2022, with no immediate plans for reopening.
The fortress includes a reconstructed masugata gate, a complex entrance design that forced attacking armies to change direction while under defensive fire.
