Hinoe Castle is a castle located in Minamishimabara, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The castle was originally built in the 13th century.[1] It belonged to the Arima Clan, and was the residence of the Christian daimyo. In 1637, during the Shimabara Rebellion, it was burned down by the forces of the Tokugawa Shogunate.[2] The castle's ruins still stand today.[3]
