Tahara Castle

Tahara Castle (田原城, Tahara-jō) is a Japanese castle located in Tahara, southern Aichi Prefecture, Japan. At the end of the Edo period, Tahara Castle was home to the Miyake clan, daimyō of the 12,000 koku Tahara Domain. Tahara Castle is located on a small hill in the city of Tahara, near the root of the Atsumi Peninsula extending into Mikawa Bay. The location was formerly surrounded by inlets, which enhanced its defensive position, and its ability to extend control over shipping in the area.
