Yasuda Castle, Japanese castle in Toyama, Japan.

The castle structure incorporates three distinct areas, including an 80-meter square inner bailey surrounded by two-meter clay ramparts and a secondary military storage bailey.

During the 16th century, Toyotomi Hideyoshi expanded Yasuda Castle to function as a temporary headquarters for his army during the invasion of Etchu Province.

The castle grounds preserve the architectural heritage of medieval Japanese fortifications, displaying traditional defensive design principles through restored moats and earthworks.

The castle site, designated as a National Historic Site since 1981, operates as a public park with restored moats completed between 1990 and 1994.

Archaeological excavations in the late 1960s uncovered the original layout of the castle, which matched a historical map preserved in the Kanazawa City Library.
