Hoshizaki Castle, Japanese castle ruins in Motohoshizaki-cho, Minami-ku district of Nagoya, Japan.

The castle site features remaining stone foundations and contains multiple enclosures including the Honmaru, Ninomaru, and Sannomaru sections.

The Yamaguchi family controlled the fortress through multiple generations until 1588, when Yamaguchi Shigemasa decided to abandon the structure.

The adjacent Hoshimiya Shrine served dual purposes as a religious structure and a navigation beacon for maritime traffic in the region.

The Meitetsu railroad line now crosses through the former castle grounds, with the Moto Hoshizaki Station providing access to visitors.

A stone memorial marks the original location, while the Kasadera school occupies a portion of the historical castle grounds.
