Shibushi Castle (志布志城, Shibushi-jō) is the earthly remains of a castle structure in Shibushi, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. It is unknown when Shibushi castle was built.[1] Its ruins have been protected as a National Historic Site, since 2005.[2] The castle was demolished by Tokugawa shogunate's one country one castle rule in 1615 and now only ruins, with some moatsnand earthworks.[1][3]

The castle was listed as one of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles in 2017.[4]
