Nagoya Castle Ruins
The Nagoya Castle Ruins (名護屋城跡) on the Higashi Matsuura Peninsula, is a significant historical landmark, offering visitors a glimpse into Japan's past. Built in the late 1500s by the famous warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the castle played a crucial role as a military base during the invasion of Korea. Today, only the stone walls and foundations remain, serving as a powerful reminder of the castle's former grandeur. To help visitors imagine what the castle once looked like, the nearby Nagoya Castle Museum provides free virtual reality tablets, allowing you to experience the original scale and design of this once-mighty fortress.
The ruins are situated in a location that adds to their allure, as the site is one of Japan's closest points to mainland Asia. In addition to the rich historical significance, the area is also known for its stunning natural beauty. Visitors can stroll through the castle grounds, enjoying panoramic views of the coastline and the surrounding landscape. The blend of history, scenic views, and the innovative use of technology makes the Nagoya Castle Ruins an essential stop for history lovers and travelers seeking a unique cultural experience.
