Our guide
Nagashino Castle was a Sengoku-period castle in what is now Shinshiro, in eastern Aichi. It is known as the site of the decisive Battle of Nagashino in 1575, in which the combined forces of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga fought Takeda Katsuyori. The ruins have been a National Historic Site since 1929 — the first former castle site to receive that protection.
