Ōtaka Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Midori Ward, Nagoya, Japan
The stone foundations and earthen walls of Otaka Castle stand on elevated ground, with remnants of three concentric bailey structures visible in the park.
During the Battle of Okehazama in 1560, Tokugawa Ieyasu, then known as Matsudaira Motoyasu, executed a supply operation to reinforce the castle defenses.
The castle grounds contain the Shiroyama Hachiman Shrine, established in 1907, which preserves local traditions and houses a commemorative stone monument.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a 10-minute walk from JR Otaka Station on the Tokaido Main Line, with no parking facilities available.
Archaeological excavations in 2022 uncovered pottery, inkstones, and hair ornaments dating from the 15th and 16th centuries beneath the castle grounds.
