Our guide

Tanaka Castle in Fujieda, central Shizuoka, was at the end of the Edo period the home of a branch of the Honda clan, daimyō of the Tanaka Domain. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.

Nishi-Yaizu Station on the Tōkaidō Main Line is about 1.7 km away in a straight line. We have not checked what can be seen on the site today.
