Nagurumi Castle (名胡桃城, Nagurumi-jō) is a castle structure in Tone, Gunma Prefecture, Japan.[1] The castle played historically important role because invasion of the castle by the Later Hōjō clan caused Siege of Odawara (1590).[2]
The castle is now only ruins, just some moats and earthworks.[3] The castle was listed as one of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles in 2017.[4]
