Haguro Castle, Castle ruin in Inuyama, Japan
The castle ruins stand atop a hill next to the Kiso River, with original wooden structures and stone foundations dating from the feudal period.
Founded in 1201 by Kajiwara Kagechika, the castle served as a strategic fortification until its permanent abandonment during the Edo Period.
The castle site includes Kozenji temple, built in 1476 by Kajiwara Kagetsuna, maintaining connections to the heritage of the Kajiwara Clan.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through an 8-minute walk from Haguro Station on the Meitetsu Komaki Line, with free access available throughout the day.
Archaeological investigations in 2012 revealed preserved dry moats, earthen ramparts, and bailey structures within the castle grounds.
