- Address
- Kanoachi Gun, Shimane Prefecture
- Description
- Tsuwano Castle was built on a mountain top overlooking the town in 1295. In the early 1600s, stone walls were added to the castle, but the main keep burnt down in 1686 after being struck by lightning. The keep was never restored, and the castle was decommissioned in the 1870s after the Meiji Restoration, leaving only its stone foundation walls today. The ruins of the castle were designated a Historic Site of Japan in 1942 and selected as one of the top 100 castles in Japan in 2006.
