Nagoya Castle (Hizen Province)

Nagoya Castle (名護屋城, Nagoya-jō) was a Japanese castle located in the Chinzei neighborhood of the city of Karatsu, Saga Prefecture. It is sometimes called Hizen-Nagoya Castle to distinguish it from the more famous Nagoya Castle in Aichi Prefecture. It is located on a hill in the center of Higashi Matsuura peninsula, about 10 kilometer north of Karatsu city. It served as the base from which Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched his invasions of Korea from 1592 to 1598. None of the original historic structures of Nagoya Castle remain, but the castle's ruined foundations survive, and were designated a National Historic Site in 1926, and elevated to a Special Historic Site in 1955. The area under protection was expanded in the year 2000.

A museum dedicated to the history of Japanese-Korean relations and related subjects is associated with Nagoya Castle and located nearby [1].
