The remains of this castle are surrounded by the ocean on three sides, and it was known for its natural defenses. Its other name, “Higura Castle” (or twilight castle), comes from the beautiful sunsets the area is famous for. After it was abandoned, it became the scene of the Shimabara Rebellion, in which peasants tried to spread Christianity throughout Japan.
