Nagoya Castle Ruins
1 of 1 in Higashi Matsuura Peninsula
The Nagoya Castle Ruins (名護屋城跡) on the Higashi Matsuura Peninsula hold a fascinating piece of Japan's history. Built in the late 1500s by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the castle served as a strategic base for the invasion of Korea. Although only stone walls and foundations remain today, visitors can still feel the castle's former grandeur. To enhance the experience, the nearby museum offers free virtual reality tablets that bring the castle to life, allowing you to imagine its original scale and design.
This historic site offers more than just ancient ruins. Located on one of Japan's closest points to mainland Asia, the area is rich in history and scenic beauty. Visitors can explore the castle grounds while enjoying views of the coastline. The combination of historical significance and modern technology makes the Nagoya Castle Ruins a must-see destination for history enthusiasts and travelers alike.
