Namhae Japanese Castle, Japanese military fortification in Namhae-eup, South Korea
The stone fortification stands on Namhae Island, featuring defensive walls that follow traditional Japanese castle construction methods of the 16th century.
Naval commander Wakisaka Yasuharu ordered the construction of this strategic fortress in 1597 during the Japanese invasions of Korea.
The castle structure represents a physical testament to the complex historical relationship between Korea and Japan during the late Joseon period.
The castle grounds remain open to visitors throughout the year, with information panels explaining the military significance of different architectural elements.
Stone foundations and remaining wall sections demonstrate specific construction techniques used by Japanese forces to build military installations on foreign soil.
