Kaneda Castle (金田城, Kaneda-jō) was a Korean-style fortress located in Tsushima, Nagasaki prefecture. Kaneda castle has been designated as being of national special significance.
== History == Kaneda Castle was likely built by Yamato court. Following the defeat of the allied Yamato Japan and Korean Baekje in the 663 battle of Baekgang ( also known as the Battle of Hakusukinoe) by an alliance of Tang China and the Korean Silla, the fortress was constructed to withstand a potential invasion. This alliance between Korean Baekje and Yamato Japan, helps explain the Korean-style fortress or Chōsen-shiki yamajiro construction. The castle was listed as one of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles in 2017.
