Sumoto Castle is a Japanese castle located in Sumoto City, Hyogo Prefecture from the Muromachi period to the Sengoku period. The ruins have been protected as a national historic site since 1999.
Sumoto Castle is located on the southeast coast of Awaji Island, on the ridge of Mt. Mikuma at an altitude of 130 meters.
Awaji Island has long been a key transportation hub in the Kinai region, forming part of the route connecting Honshu and Shikoku, and controlling maritime traffic between the Pacific Ocean, the Seto Inland Sea, and Osaka Bay.
During the Sengoku period, the Miyoshi clan, which ruled Sanuki, Awa, and Kawachi, ruled the island. Sumoto Castle was built around 1526 by his vassal, the Otaki clan.
In 1581, Hashiba Hideyoshi captured the island as part of Oda Nobunaga's conquest of western Japan, leaving Sumoto under the control of the shogun Hidehisa Sengoku.
In 1583, Hidehisa Sengoku was officially appointed daimyo, modernized the Sumoto fortress, and made this castle his residence.
However, Hidehisa was defeated in a battle with the Shimazu clan in 1585 and fell from power, and was replaced by Yasuharu Wakisaka in 1586.
Yasuharu Wakisaka, with support from Hideyoshi, expanded the castle to protect the sea access to Osaka, the economic center of the Toyotomi regime.
After the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Awaji came under the control of the Ikeda clan of the Himeji domain. The Ikeda clan abolished Sumoto Castle and built Yura Castle in the northern part of Awaji Island, close to their home base of Himeji Castle.
However, after the Battle of Osaka in 1615, Awaji was given by the Tokugawa shogunate to the Hachisuka clan of the Tokushima domain, who appointed their vassal, the Inada clan, as the guardian of Awaji.
Since Sumoto was closer to Tokushima than Yura, the Inaba clan rebuilt Sumoto Castle in the 1630s.
Sumoto Castle was held by the Inada clan until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Today, nothing remains of the castle except for the intricately shaped stone walls.
In 1928, the castle tower was rebuilt with reinforced concrete to commemorate the enthronement of Emperor Showa. In 2017, it was selected as one of Japan's 100 Famous Castles.
