| Hiroshima Castle (広島城, Hiroshima-jō), sometimes called Carp Castle (鯉城, Rijō), is a castle in Hiroshima, Japan that was the residence of the daimyō (feudal lord) of the Hiroshima Domain. The castle was originally constructed in the 1590s, but was largely destroyed by the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945. The main keep was rebuilt in 1958, a replica of the original that now serves as a museum of Hiroshima's history before World War II, and other castle buildings have been reconstructed since. |
| Miiri-Takamatsu Castle (三入高松城, Miiri-Takamatsu -jō)) is the remains of a castle structure in Asakita-ku, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It is located on a 339-meter mountain. One of the 18 Generals of Mōri, Kumagai Nobunao was commander of the castle.[1] In the Sengoku period, Kumagai clan moved their main bastion from Isegatsubo Castle to the castle since Isegatsubo Castle was considered unsuitable to withstanding a siege, and used the castle until Mōri clan moved to Suō Province.[2][3][4] |
