Kawahara Castle, Mountain fortress in Kawahara, Japan.
The castle stands on elevated terrain with stone walls and multiple levels, featuring architectural elements characteristic of Japanese military structures.
The fortress played a strategic role during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's campaign to control Inaba Province in 1580, serving as a base for military operations.
The castle grounds contain 800 plum trees that bloom in early spring, connecting the site to traditional Japanese appreciation of seasonal changes.
Visitors can access the castle daily for 250 yen, with free entry for high school students, seniors over 65, and persons with disabilities.
The castle observatory provides views extending to the Tottori Sand Dunes and Chugoku mountains on clear days, offering different perspectives across seasons.
