Mihara Castle, Japanese castle in Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture.
The castle complex contains stone walls, gates, and a main keep positioned strategically on a hill overlooking the Seto Inland Sea.
The Matsudaira clan initiated construction in 1567, establishing a fortification to control maritime routes during the Sengoku period of Japan.
The castle grounds host regional festivals throughout the year, maintaining connections with traditional Japanese military architecture and local heritage.
The castle ruins are accessible through JR Mihara Station concourse, with no admission fee required to explore the main bailey area.
During high tide, water surrounds the castle foundation, creating an effect that earned this structure the nickname 'Floating Castle'.
