Furuwatari Castle
Former Japanese castle in Nagoya From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Furuwatari Castle (古渡城, Furuwatari-jō) is a former Japanese castle located in Nagoya.[1]
It was originally outside the city of Nagoya in the countryside of the Owari Province. The castle was apparently originally constructed by Lord Oda Nobuhide (1508-1549) in 1534. According to legend his son Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582) had his genpuku (coming of age ceremony at age 13) here. The castle is said to have been about 140 metres by 100 metres, and was surrounded by a double moat. The castle was abandoned in 1548 and fell into ruins. A stone stelae marks the site of the castle. On parts of the ground the Higashi Honganji Nagoya Betsuin was constructed in the 18th and 19th century.[citation needed]
