Explore the Fukue Castle Ruins (Ishida Castle Ruins), located in Goto City, Nagasaki Prefecture. Just an 8-minute walk from Fukue Port or a 10-minute drive from Fukue Airport, this historical site was built in 1863 as one of Japan's last castles, uniquely designed with three sides facing the sea. Although dismantled shortly after its completion, the castle's moat and stone walls remain, offering a glimpse into its past. The main keep's site is now home to Goto High School, while the Ninomaru area features the Goto Clan Garden, a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty.
