Noshima Castle, Japanese castle on Noshima Island, Imabari, Japan.
The castle extends across Noshima Island, featuring stone walls and architectural elements that showcase traditional Japanese fortification design.
The Noshima Murakami clan operated the castle during the Sengoku period, controlling maritime activities and providing naval support to regional powers.
The castle earned recognition as part of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles, reflecting its role in preserving medieval Japanese military architecture.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through guided tours departing from Miyaura port via sightseeing boats between 09:00 and 17:00.
The castle's position on an island in the Seto Inland Sea made it an essential checkpoint for ships navigating between Shikoku and Honshu.
