Kiyosu

Kiyosu sits beside the Shōnai River in Aichi Prefecture, where the broad Nōbi Plain extends west of Nagoya. The city developed around Kiyosu Castle, a strategic stronghold associated with Oda Nobunaga during the 16th century, before he shifted his base to nearby Nagoya. Today’s reconstructed castle houses displays on the area’s feudal past, while the adjacent Gojo River adds a quiet waterside element to the urban setting. Kiyosu-juku, once a post station on the Minoji route linking major Edo-period roads, recalls the town’s role in regional travel and trade.
