Fukui Castle
| Fukui Castle (福井城, Fukui-jō) is a flatland-style castle located in what is now the city of Fukui, Fukui Prefecture, Japan.[1] During the Edo period, it was the headquarters of a branch of the Matsudaira clan, who were hereditary daimyō of Fukui domain under the Tokugawa shogunate. The castle was also known by the name of Kitanoshō Castle (北ノ庄城, Kitanoshō-jō), after an earlier castle built by Shibata Katsuie, over whose ruins it is partly built. | ||||||
