Hamamatsu Castle (浜松城, Hamamatsu-jō) is a hirayama-style Japanese castle ruin, with some replica castle buildings. It was the seat of various fudai daimyō who ruled over Hamamatsu Domain, Tōtōmi Province, in what is now central Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan under the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate.[1] It is also called Shusse Castle (出世城, Shusse-jō).
