History

Iimoriyama Castle was built by Kizawa Nagamasa and was later controlled by the Miyoshi clan.[3][4]

Miyoshi Nagayoshi relocated his home castle from Akutagawayama Castle to Iimoriyama Castle in 1560.[1]

In 1564, Miyoshi Nagayoshi died in the castle.[5]

The castle was listed as one of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles in 2017.[6]

Preservation

The castle is now only ruins, with some stone walls, moats and Dobashibridges.[1]
