玉城

The castle stands at an elevation of 307 meters, featuring extensive defensive structures including moats, earthen bridges, and steep cliff faces.

Built in 1332, the fortress served as a strategic stronghold during the Northern and Southern Courts period under the command of Satake Yoshiharu.

The castle represents traditional Japanese fortification techniques, with its design incorporating natural terrain features and multiple defensive layers.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a hiking trail from the Eco-Museum Sekigahara, with parking available at the base of the mountain.

The main bailey extends from northeast to southwest, providing clear views of both the Nakasendo and Hokuriku trade routes.
