Kikyō Castle (桔梗城, Kikyō-jō, literally meaning: Chinese Bellflower Castle) is a Japanese-style castle located near Konoha's borders.[1] It features two large shibi, shaped like shachihoko. It was the location where Dosu Kinuta met his end at the hands of Gaara, the jinchūriki of Shukaku. Hayate Gekkō was also killed near the castle by Baki. The castle was destroyed when Pain attacked the village.
