Kanata Castle
金田城
A 7th-century Korean-style fortress on Tsushima Island built in 667 AD to guard against Tang Chinese and Silla Korean invasion. The sea-facing stone walls dramatically overlook Omura Bay; the castle is accessible only by mountain trail and is one of Japan's most remote historic sites.
