Imada Castle Ruins

This castle ruin is the remains of a castle located in the innermost part of the valley of Imada in Kitahiroshima-cho where the Imada clan lived during the Muromachi/Sengoku period (15th to 16th centuries). The castle has processed a ridge extending southeast from the highest point of 461m above sea level (relative height 110m) overlooking the Imada River on the south side of the innermost part of the Imada Valley. In addition to 1 to 4 enclosures, there are some remains of earthen walls, wells, tiger mouths, and vertical moats. From this castle ruin, you can see the entire basin, and it is within a short distance from Mibu Castle and Arita Castle. Further north, you can also see Terahara Castle and Hiyama Castle. This makes Imada Castle not only a base of control for the Imada clan, whose main territory is this valley, but also an extremely suitable place to unite with the local lords of the area and maintain the local rule order. was set up to choose
