Koriyama Castle
Last update
After Tsutsui Junkei built the castle in 1580, Toyotomi Hidenaga developed it. After that, it continued to exist under different owners, such as Mizuno, Matsudaira, Honda, and Yanagisawa, but it was destroyed by fire at the end of the Edo period. The Otemon Gate and turrets that currently stand on the castle ruins were rebuilt in the Showa period. It is also known for using many repurposed stones, such as "inverted Jizo" statues, in the stone walls.
