Nakiri Castle (Nakiri Fortress) [Castle special collection Japanese history]

[Name]
Nakiri Castle (Nakiri Fortress)

[Description]
Namikiri Castle was located on Nakiri Daio-cho Shima-shi, Mie. The scale of the castle was　so big that it might be also called as a fortress.

Mr. Kawatsura from a wealthy local family built this castle as a natural fortification on a
coastal terrace during Nanbokucho era, In Joji period, Takayoshi Kuki from the Kuki clan
who had been ruling the land of Kii unexpectedly seized the castle and kicked out the
Kawatsura clan.

Since then, Namikiri Castle was under the control of the Kuki clan. The casle had been the　headquarter for the Kuki clan until Yoshitaka Kuki, the sixth chief of the clan conqured the　entire land of Shima in 1594 and built Toba Castle as a new headquarter. As they moved to　Toba Castle, Nakiri Castle completed its job as a fortress and became an abandoned　castle.
