A castle built in 1568 by Wada Koremasa, a retainer of the Muromachi shogunate, in what is now Kobe Town, Hyougo Prefecture.

In 1580, Araki Murashige fled to this castle during the siege of Itami Castle. Ikeda Tsuneoki along with his sons Ikeda Motosuke and Ikeda Terumasa laid siege to the castle and captured it on July 2, 1580. Araki Murashige managed to escape, and Hanakuma Castle was later abandoned. Only its stone foundations now remain.
