Nasu Kanda Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Nakagawa, Japan.
The castle features a rectangular layout measuring 117 meters from north to south and 66 meters from east to west, with earthen ramparts reaching five meters high.
Fujiwara no Sukeie constructed Nasu Kanda Castle around 1125 AD, establishing it as the primary residence for four generations of the Nasu clan.
The castle ruins contain preserved moats and embankments that demonstrate the architectural techniques used in Japanese fortification during the Heian period.
The castle grounds are now part of a public park, accessible via the Karasuyama Line, though visitors should note the limited frequency of local bus services.
The eastern section of the original rampart was removed during modern housing development, while rice paddies now occupy portions of the western castle grounds.
