Château de nouvelle Forteresse, Medieval fortress in Shimane Prefecture, Japan.

The castle consists of stone walls reaching 10 meters in height, constructed with dry masonry techniques and featuring six distinct courtyards.

Built in the early 15th century, the castle served as a defensive structure protecting the region from attacks by the lord of Katsuren Castle.

The castle remains demonstrate the architectural style of gusuku fortifications, reflecting traditional Ryukyuan construction methods and military strategy.

Visitors can access informative panels throughout the site that explain the historical significance and architectural features of the castle structures.

The castle walls incorporate locally sourced stones arranged without mortar, creating a robust defensive structure that has endured for centuries.
