Shimabara Castle is famous for being the base of the central government during the Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion that took place between 1637 and 1638.

The Shimabara-Amakusa Rebellion was a war in which Christians in the Shimabara and Amakusa areas rebelled against the central government.

Shimabara Castle was abandoned in 1874, but the castle tower and other structures were reconstructed in 1964.
