Kagenouma Kōgoishi, Korean-style fortress in Iizuka, Japan.

Built during the Asuka period in the 6th or 7th century CE, this fortress represents a time of strong military and architectural influence from Korea.

The stone structures demonstrate the transfer of Korean construction techniques to Japan, incorporating specific methods for defensive fortification arrangements.
