Château de Yagamishiro

The Yagami Castle stands with its wooden structures and stone foundations on elevated terrain, featuring defensive walls and observation points overlooking the surroundings.

The fortress emerged during the Sengoku period when local lords constructed strategic military positions to protect their territories against rival clans.

The castle design follows traditional Japanese architectural principles with multiple gates, defensive rings, and wooden towers that reflect medieval military engineering.

Visitors can reach the castle grounds through local transportation services connecting to nearby railway stations in the Kohoku district.

The castle position incorporates natural elevation changes into its defensive layout, demonstrating how Japanese fortifications adapted to geographical features.
