Kameda Castle (亀田城, Kameda-jō) is a Japanese castle located in the Amasagi neighborhood of the city of Yurihonjō, southern Akita Prefecture, Japan. At the end of the Edo period, Kameda Castle was home to the Iwaki clan, daimyō of Kameda Domain. The castle was also known as "Amasagi-jō", but was never a true Japanese castle, but was officially a jin'ya, or fortified residence.
