Nagashima Castle, Medieval fortress in Kuwana, Japan
The castle complex features stone walls, moats, and several preserved gates positioned at the mouth of the Nagara River in northern Mie Prefecture.
Built in 1245 by Regent Kujo Michiie, the castle underwent multiple transformations, serving as a fortified manor before becoming a military stronghold in 1482.
The castle grounds now integrate with modern educational facilities, as Nagashima Elementary and Junior High Schools occupy sections of the former castle site.
Visitors can reach the castle remains by taking a short walk from either Nagashima Station or Kintetsu-Nagashima Station in Kuwana City.
A three-century-old Japanese black pine tree marks the southwest corner of the main enclosure, recognized as a Natural Monument of Kuwana City.
