During the Edo Period, Kameyama Castle was the Ise-Kameyama Domain headquarters and center of Kameyama-juku lodging town on the Tokaido Road.It still has the Tamon-yagura turret (open to the public), castle walls, and a partially reconstructed Ninomaru keep. Short walk from JR Kameyama Station (JR Kansai Line).

When you walk from JR Kameyama Station to the castle, you will first see this large athletic field (baseball, etc.) and a stone wall and turret. The field was the Honmaru.
