Nagano Castle

Nagano Castle is a late period fortification in Tsu with a rectangular layout and stone walls defining its structure. The site contains restored wooden buildings and informational displays explaining how the different areas functioned militarily.

This fortress was founded in the late 16th century and remained under the control of different regional leaders throughout several periods. It held strategic importance for defense and governance in the Ise area.

The castle displays traditional Japanese construction methods that remain visible in the stone walls and wooden buildings today. Visitors can observe how the structures were designed for both defense and daily administration.

The grounds are easy to navigate with clear paths between the different buildings and fortifications. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since exploring all areas involves walking on uneven terrain.

The grounds preserve lesser-known structures showing how soldiers and administrative staff lived and worked daily. These everyday details offer insight into actual life during the feudal period beyond just the architecture.
