Ichinomiya Castle, Mountain fortress in Tokushima, Japan

Located on the ridge of Ryuouzan mountain at 150 meters elevation, Ichinomiya Castle features stone walls and stairs along two distinct peaks.

The Ogasawara clan constructed the castle in 1338, governing the Awa domain until their defeat in the conflict between Emperor Godaigo and Ashikaga Takauji.

The castle structure reflects traditional Japanese fortification techniques with its strategic placement on high ground and use of natural defensive features.

The remaining stone walls and stairs of Ichinomiya Castle are accessible to visitors, with clear markers guiding the exploration of the site.

During the 1585 siege by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the castle defenders surrendered after the attacking forces targeted and cut off their water supply.
