Château de Hikuma Yamashiro, Medieval fortress in Hamamatsu, Japan
The stone walls of Hikuma Yamashiro extended 500 meters north-south and 450 meters east-west across the Mikatagahara plateau terrain.
The Imagawa clan constructed the original Hikuma Castle between 1504 and 1520, which later transformed into a strategic military base under Tokugawa leadership.
The fortress earned recognition as the Success Castle due to its connection with numerous daimyo who achieved high positions in the shogunate administration.
The central section of the former castle grounds now functions as a public park with educational displays about traditional construction methods.
Unlike conventional Japanese castles, Hikuma Yamashiro operated without a traditional tenshukaku keep, instead utilizing a two-story yagura in the second bailey.
