Amagasaki-jou (尼崎城)

A castle built by Toda Ujikane in 1617 at a strategic site crossed by two rivers flowing into the ocean, allowing for boat landings. It was located in what is now the City of Amagasaki, Hyougo Prefecture.

The castle was known for being the place where Araki Murashige fled to in his failed revolt against Oda Nobunaga. It was demolished in 1873 and rebuilt in 2018.
