Tsu Castle, located in Tsu, Mie Prefecture, Japan, has a rich history dating back to its original construction in 1580 by Oda Nobukane, the younger brother of the famous warlord Oda Nobunaga. The castle was strategically positioned to control the Ise Plain and provide defense against invasions. Throughout its history, Tsu Castle saw various reconstructions and expansions, particularly under the rule of the Todo clan during the Edo period. Despite suffering significant damage during the Meiji Restoration and World War II, some remnants of the castle, such as stone walls and moats, still remain.
