has glosseng: Hiji Castle, also known as Yokoku Castle, Aoyagi Castle, and Ukitsu Castle, is a castle located in Hiji, Oita Prefecture, Japan. The construction of the castle began in 1601, under Kinoshita Nobutoshis orders, when he was transferred to Hiji from Himeji. The castle was designed by Nobutoshis brother-in-law, Hosokawa Tadaoki. It holds a strategic location, as it overlooks Beppu Bay. Today, the castle's ruins (all that remains are the stone walls and the Sumi yagura) are a park, though Hiji Elementary School is also located on the grounds.
