Miiri-Takamatsu Castle (三入高松城, Miiri-Takamatsu -jō)) is the remains of a castle structure in Asakita-ku, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It is located on a 339-meter mountain. One of the 18 Generals of Mōri, Kumagai Nobunao was commander of the castle.[1]

In the Sengoku period, Kumagai clan moved their main bastion from Isegatsubo Castle to the castle since Isegatsubo Castle was considered unsuitable to withstanding a siege, and used the castle until Mōri clan moved to Suō Province.[2][3][4]

Its ruins have been protected as a Prefectural Historic Sites as one of the Remains of Kumagai Clan Ruins, combining both Isegatsubo Castle and Kumagai clan's fortified residence Doi-Yashiki.[3]
