  • Iwasaki Castle and Iwasaki Castle Historical Museum (Iwasaki-jo・Iwasaki-jo Rekishi Kinenkan)

During the warring states period, the Owari and Mikawa Provinces clamored for control of this strategic castle.

A tenshu tower reconstructed in concrete decorates the location of the ancient castle, and at the adjacent Iwasaki Castle Historical Museum, the history of the castle and Nisshin City as well as cultural heritage and discovered artifacts of the Ruins of Iwasaki Castle are exhibited.

Iwasaki Castle

Although the details are not known precisely, Iwasaki Castle is believed to have been built around the end of the Muromachi period. Iwasaki was a strategic point located on the road connecting Owari and Mikawa since ancient times. In 1529, the castle was taken over by Matsudaira Kiyoyasu (grandfather of Tokugawa Ieyasu) while it was being protected by Arakawa Yorimune (retainer of Oda Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide). Later on, the Niwa Ujikiyo moved to the castle from Hongo Castle in Nisshin City and the Niwa clan remained there as lords for four generations. During the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute in 1584 between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Iyeyasu, the Niwa clan fought for the Tokugawa and were recognized for their allegiance, although they lost the castle in their attempt to halt the Hashiba forces' march from Inuyama to Okazaki. In 1987, a five-story pseudo donjon was built over the hommaru site, and the castle premises were made into Iwasaki Castle Park.
