Wikipedia definition
3. Tenshu​Tenshu, (天守, 殿主, 殿守), also called Tenshukaku, 天守閣, is the central tower or main keep of a Japanese castle. It is the most defining feature of the Japanese castle. Although previous castles usually had a defensible structure for residence and/or administration, the architecturally distinct tenshu was first constructed during the late Sengoku period, or Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573-1603). Azuchi Castle, built in 1576 by Oda Nobunaga, was Japan's first castle to have a tenshu.
