Tanaka Castle, Japanese castle in Fujieda, Japan

Tanaka Castle features a distinctive circular layout with three concentric moats spanning 600 meters in diameter around the central keep.

The castle, established in 1537 by the Imagawa clan of Suruga, became a strategic stronghold during the conflicts between the Takeda and Tokugawa clans.

The castle grounds contain four traditional buildings that were relocated and restored, representing the architectural heritage of feudal Japan.

The historical park welcomes visitors from 9 AM to 5 PM without admission fees, except for Mondays and the day following public holidays.

Tokugawa Ieyasu visited Tanaka Castle more than 15 times in his final seven years, making his last visit in January 1616 before his death.
