The Kiyosu castle was reconstructed 200 meters away from its original location (marked today by a statue of the warlord Oda Nobunaga) on the anniversary of the centennial of the modern town of Kiyosu.

The main tower, the two gates and the red bridge over the Gojo River are recreating a glimpse of this once important fortification, that played an important role during the Sengoku period.
