Nirengi Castle, Japanese castle in Toyohashi, Japan
The castle features traditional defensive elements such as stone walls, moats, and earthen ramparts across its 600-square-meter main courtyard.
Toda Munemitsu, a retainer of the Ashikaga shogunate, constructed the castle in 1493 as a forward base against Tame Matasaburo's eastern forces.
Local samurai used elm trees from the castle grounds to create surikogi, traditional wooden kitchen tools for grinding ingredients in Japanese cuisine.
The site now functions as Oguchi Park, offering visitors the opportunity to examine remaining castle structures while enjoying landscaped gardens.
The castle's name derives from two elm trees that once grew abundantly in the area, translating directly to 'Two Elm Trees' in Japanese.
