Château de Tanaka, Japanese castle in Fujieda, Japan

Tanaka Castle features three circular moats spanning 600 meters in diameter, with six strategic defensive outposts positioned around its perimeter.

Built in 1537 by the Imagawa clan of Suruga, the castle gained military importance during the Takeda clan's invasion of Suruga province in 1570.

The castle grounds contain several relocated structures, including a watchtower, communal quarters, stables, and a traditional tea ceremony room.

Visitors can reach the castle site by taking a bus from JR Nishi-Yaizu Station or driving 10 minutes from Yaizu Interchange on the Tomei Expressway.

The castle's circular design with triple moats represents a rare example of Koshu-style fortification architecture in Japanese castle construction.
