Château de Yanoshiro

The stone walls of Yanoshiro Castle extend across multiple levels on a strategic hilltop position overlooking the surrounding valleys and waterways.

The castle served as a military fortification during the Sengoku period, providing defensive control over important trade routes in the Hiroshima region.

Following feudal traditions, the castle grounds contained separate living quarters for samurai warriors, who resided nearest to the central keep.

The castle site offers visitors elevated views of the Hiroshima Prefecture landscape from its remaining stone foundation structures.

The defensive architecture incorporated natural terrain features into its design, with stone walls positioned to maximize protection against potential attacks.
