Our guide
Takatenjin Castle was a Sengoku-period mountain castle in Kamihijikata and Shimohijikata, in the city of Kakegawa, Shizuoka. Its ruins have been a National Historic Site since 1975, and the protected area was extended in 2007. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.
It is a mountain site; we have not checked the paths, conditions or a public-transport route, so look for local information before you go.
