Iwakuni Castle, located in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, is a historic hilltop castle originally constructed in 1608 by the feudal lord Kikkawa Hiroie. Perched on Mount Shiroyama, the castle offers panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the famous Kintai Bridge. Although the original structure was dismantled in 1615 due to a shogunate decree, a reconstructed version was built in 1962 based on historical records and now serves as a museum.
