Hachinohe Castle, Japanese castle ruins in Hachinohe, Japan

The castle grounds cover an area with dimensions of 150 meters east to west and 200 meters north to south on top of a hill.

Built in 1627 by Naomasa Nambu, the castle served as the administrative center of the Hachinohe domain until its decommissioning in 1871.

The remaining structures include earthen walls, moat traces, and the relocated Kadogoten main gate, which now stands at the Nambu Assembly Hall.

The castle site, transformed into Sanpachi Castle Park, stands a 5-minute walk from Honhachinohe Station through an uphill path with stairs.

The castle grounds contain the Benkei Stone, named after a legendary warrior monk who, according to local tales, left his footprint in the rock.
