Sagiyama Castle, Japanese castle ruins in Gifu, Japan.
The castle remains stand on Mount Kinka, featuring stone foundations and archaeological elements that demonstrate traditional Japanese fortification techniques.
Nikaido Yukimasa established the original structure in 1201, while the Saito clan expanded it significantly during the 15th century under Saito Dosan's leadership.
The castle grounds contain exhibits displaying artifacts and documents that illustrate the military strategies and daily life of feudal Japanese warriors.
Visitors can reach the castle site via the Mount Kinka Ropeway or by following marked hiking trails that lead to the summit.
The castle's position at 35.449664 latitude and 136.750894 longitude provided defenders with clear views across the Nagara River valley for monitoring threats.
