Chinen-jō submitted by Aska : Site in Kyūshū Japan (Vote or comment on this photo)
An Okinawan hillfort in Kyūshū, Japan called “gusuku”. Built on a cliff near the southeastern cape of the Okinawa main island. This hillfort is supposed to be a hybrid of old enclosure of roughly piled stone wall and new one of regularly piled brick wall with gates.
