Miki Castle


Miki Castle (三木城 Mikijō?) was a castle that stood in Miki, Hyogo, Japan.

Miki Castle was built by Bessho Nagaharu around 1492.

Miki Castle was the scene of a siege from spring 1578 to January 1580, in which Toyotomi Hideyoshi laid siege to the castle, cutting off food supplies to Bessho Nagaharu, a retainer of the Mōri clan. Toyotomi ultimately gained control of the castle, but Bessho committed suicide, aged 27, and Araki Murashige, Lord of Itami, escaped to rejoin the Mōri clan.
