Washizu Castle, Medieval fortress in Nagoya, Japan.
The stone walls and defensive trenches of Washizu Castle spread across a 1.455-hectare hilltop site in the Midori district of Nagoya.
Constructed by Oda Nobunaga in 1559, the fortress fell to Imagawa forces in 1560 during a preliminary battle before the Battle of Okehazama.
The fortress site, designated as a National Historic Site in 1938, represents military architecture from the warring states period of Japanese history.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking a five-minute walk east from JR Odaka Station on the Tokaido Main Line.
The fortress contained space for 520 mounted soldiers and featured multiple defensive structures, including gates and wooden palisades during its operation.
