About this place
Hamamatsu Castle is a Japanese castle ruin in Chuo Ward, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is famous for its nozura-zumi (rough-stone) stone walls. Because many of its successive lords later rose to become key figures of the Edo shogunate, it was called the Castle of Success. The predecessor of Hamamatsu Castle was Hikuma Castle, built around the 15th century, and the lord at the time of construction is unknown. In the early 16th century the Iio clan, under the rule of the Imagawa clan, served as lord. Hikuma Castle at this time was the part labeled Old Castle in Edo-period maps, corresponding to the area near today's Motoshirocho Toshogu.
