Kaneda Castle was built by Yamato court. Following the defeat of Yamato Japan in the 663 battle of Hakusukinoe by an alliance of Tang China and the Silla, Emperor Tenji ordered the construction of defenses against a possible invasion of them.

Kaneda Castle ruins Watazumi Shrine Hiroshige. In Japanese mythology, Tsushima was one of the eight original islands created by the Shinto deities Izanagi and Izanami. Archaeological evidence suggests that Tsushima was already inhabited by settlers from the Japanese archipelago and Korean Peninsula from the Jōmon period to the Kofun period.
Under the Ritsuryō system, Tsushima formally became a province. Tsushima Province has been a strategic area that took a major role in the national defense against possible invasions from the continent and in trade with Korea. After Japan was defeated by Tang dynasty at the Battle of Baekgang in 663, Kaneda Castle was constructed on this island.
These castles were established by either reinforcing existing settlements, or were built anew if no suitable settlements existed in the area where a castle was needed. [3] Although the locations are currently unknown, Japanese castles are also believed to have been built between Kilju and Anbyŏn in the historical Hamgyong Province. [4]

However, as goten (castle palaces) were the central and arguably most important feature of Japanese castles, the palace is a historical part of Nijo Castle. [15]
