Kishiwada Castle, Japanese castle in Kishiwada, Japan
The castle features a three-story tower structure with white walls, positioned strategically along Osaka Bay between Osaka and Wakayama cities.
The original fortification dates back to 1334, when local warlord Kishiwada Osamu constructed a defensive residence 500 meters from the current location.
The castle grounds contain the Hachijin Garden, recognized as a National Place of Scenic Beauty, displaying traditional Japanese landscaping principles.
The castle museum opens from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 300 yen for adults while children under junior high school age enter free.
The castle withstood a two-month siege by Saiga Ikki armies in 1585 during the conflicts involving Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
