Iimoriyama Castle (飯盛山城, Iimoriyama-jō) was a Sengoku period mountain-top castle in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. Located on a 315.9 meter mountain. It was the original base of power for the Miyoshi clan.[1][2]
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]
