Ichinomiya Castle, Mountain fortress in Tokushima, Japan.
The castle extends across multiple baileys, featuring stone walls at 144 meters above sea level with the Akui River flowing at its base.
Built in 1338 by the Ogasawara clan, the castle passed to the Ichinomiya family who controlled it until Toyotomi Hideyoshi's conquest of Shikoku in 1585.
The castle site stands near Ichinomiya Shrine and Dainichi Temple, representing a significant connection between military and religious structures in feudal Japan.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking a bus from Tokushima Station and following a 30-minute hiking trail to the main bailey.
The fortress fell after a 20-day siege when 50,000 troops under Hashiba Hidenaga surrounded it from three directions and cut off its water supply.
