Kameyama Castle, Japanese castle in Kameoka, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
The castle stands on an elevated position south of the Ōi River, featuring stone walls that controlled access to northwestern Kyoto.
Built in 1578 by Akechi Mitsuhide, the castle served as a military base during the Sengoku period until its dismantlement in the Meiji era.
The castle grounds host several annual festivals where locals gather to celebrate traditional Japanese customs and regional heritage.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through designated hiking trails that lead to various observation points overlooking Kameoka city.
The site now belongs to the Ōmoto religious movement, which acquired the property in 1919 and maintains the remaining stone foundations.
