Amagasaki Castle, Japanese castle in Amagasaki, Japan
The reconstructed castle features a four-story tenshu with ornate architectural details situated where two rivers meet the Osaka Bay.
Toda Ujikane commissioned the construction of the original castle in 1617, establishing it as the headquarters of the Amagasaki Domain during the Tokugawa period.
The castle architecture incorporates traditional Japanese fortification elements, including triple moats and multiple defensive enclosures characteristic of flatland castles.
Visitors can access the newly reconstructed castle structure, opened in 2019, located 300 meters northwest of the original foundation.
The castle grounds witnessed the execution of 670 political hostages during the 1579 Siege of Itami when Araki Murashige refused to surrender to Oda Nobunaga.
