Koromo Castle, Japanese mountain castle in Toyota, Japan

The castle stands on Dojiyama hill with stone foundations supporting a reconstructed two-story guard tower and a central gate along the Yasaku River.

Naito Masamitsu constructed the fortification in 1782 after receiving control of the Koromo domain, which remained under Naito clan governance until the Meiji Restoration.

The central gate dimensions allowed passage of six-meter festival floats during the annual Koromo celebrations, connecting military architecture with local traditions.

The castle grounds, now part of Toyota Municipal Museum of Art, remain accessible without entrance fees and include a preserved section of the original moat.

From the tower position, visitors could observe seven different provinces, leading to its alternative name Shichishu-jo, meaning Castle of Seven Provinces.
