Nagashima Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Kihoku, Japan
The fortification stands at the meeting point of the Nagara and Kiso Rivers, with remaining stone walls and moats marking its historical location.
Constructed in 1245 by Regent Kujō Michiie, the castle underwent multiple reconstructions until its final dismantling under Meiji government orders in 1872.
The castle site witnessed a significant battle in 1574 when Oda Nobunaga's forces defeated the Ikkō-ikki religious movement that controlled the fortification.
Currently, the former castle grounds house the Nagashima Chubu Elementary School and Nagashima Junior High School, preserving fragments of its defensive structures.
Parts of the original Ohtemon gate continue their existence as the main entrance of the nearby Renshōji temple, maintaining a physical connection to the past.
