Tottori Castle, Japanese castle ruins in Kyusho Park, Tottori, Japan.
The stone walls and moats of Tottori Castle rise on Mount Kyusho at an elevation of 263 meters above the surrounding city landscape.
In 1587, Hideyoshi Hashiba conducted a prolonged siege against the castle by establishing a 12-kilometer encirclement, leading to the surrender of Tsuneie Kikkawa.
The castle represents the evolution of Japanese fortification architecture from medieval to early modern periods, earning it the designation as a Museum of Castle Construction.
Visitors can reach the castle grounds by taking a 20-minute walk from Tottori Station or using the 100-yen Kururi bus green route to Jinpukaku stop.
The Tenkyu-maru features spherical stone walls, a construction technique not found in other Japanese castles of the period.
