Kiyosu Castle

Though no one is sure of who built this castle and when, some people think Shiba Yoshishige built the Kiyosu between 1394 and 1427. It was certain that in 1555, Oda Nobunaga took control of the castle, though. Eight years later, he left the castle for another castle: the Komaki. The last owner of the Kiyosu was Tokugawa Ieyasu's son, Yoshinao, because it was torn down when he switched residences to the Nagoya Castle.

It can been seen that the tenshu of the Kiyosu was artistically decorated by a view of its roof. Its gables create a beautiful and pleasing shape that outlines and defines the detailed architecture used in designing it. It can also be seen that the top of the tenshu was maybe used for entertainment purposes because of the red railings. The balcony could have been used for watching the moon at night like some other castles.
