History
editKaneda 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.[2][3] 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.[4]
