Jōjō Castle, Japanese castle ruins in Kasugai, Japan
The remains of Jojo Castle include earthworks, stone foundations, and multiple moats extending over 1.2 kilometers around the base at 180 meters elevation.
Built in 1218 by Osaka Kouzen, the castle served as a military base during the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute in 1584 under Ikeda Tsuneoki's command.
The castle structure represents the architectural style of hirashiro, built on plains between Uchizu and Shonai Rivers rather than on elevated ground.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins with a seven-minute walk from Kasugai Station on the Chuo Main Line to explore the remaining fortifications.
The Honmaru section of the castle grounds now functions as a monthly parking lot, where visitors observe the northern and western moats.
