The reconstructed main gate of Kaneishi castle as it appears today.
  • Built: 1665-1669
  • Japanese: 金石城 (Kaneishi jou)

Kaneishi castle, located in Tsushima Fuchû (today, Izuhara-chô) on Tsushima Island was the seat of Tsushima han.

Originally established as Kaneishi mansion (Kaneishi yakata) by Sô Masamori in the late 1520s or early 1530s,[1] the Sô clan mansion was expanded and transformed into a castle by Sô Yoshizane around 1665 to 1669.[2]
