Odaka Castle (尾高城, Odaka-jō)) is the remains of a castle structure in Yonago, Tottori Prefecture, Japan.
The castle was used by Yukimatsu clan as their main bastion.[2] Later, the castle was expanded and improved the defences by the Mōri clan's vassal Sugihara Morishige.[2] It is said that Yamanaka Yukimori was captured and put in prison in the castle but later he succeeded in escape from the castle.[3][4]
Odaka Castle was demolished when Yonago Castle was completed and Nakamura Kazutada moved there.[3][5] Its ruins have been protected as a City's Historic Sites.[2]
