Hagi Castle, located in Hagi, Japan, is an iconic historical site that dates back to the early Edo period. It was constructed in 1604 by Mōri Terumoto, a prominent feudal lord. The castle was strategically positioned at the base of Mount Shizuki and its design incorporated both a mountain and a flatland structure, a rare combination for Japanese castles. Although much of the original castle has been dismantled, the ruins, including the stone walls and moats, have been preserved and are now part of Shizuki Park.
