Nagahama Castle Ruins is now Hou Park located on the banks of Lake Biwa in Nagahama city, Shiga prefecture.

Nagahama was a castle town that Hashiba Hideyoshi (later known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi) built his own castle for the first time.

The tenshu (keep) was reconstructed in Nagahama Castle Ruins in 1983. It contains a museum about the city of Nagahama.
