Kashima Castle, Japanese castle in Kashima, Japan.
The castle features stone-piled ramparts, traditional moats, and two main gates, including the red-colored Akamon gate completed in 1808.
Built in 1609 by Nabeshima Tadashige as part of Kashima Domain, the castle served as a military base for the Nabeshima Clan until 1874.
The neighboring streets contain preserved samurai residences with traditional walls and gates, reflecting the social structure of feudal Japan.
Visitors can reach the castle by taking a 20-minute walk from Hizen-Kashima Station on the Nagasaki Main Line railway.
The castle moved to its current location in 1807 after its predecessor, Tsunehirojō, experienced severe flooding in the early 19th century.
