Fukushima Castle is a modern Japanese castle (Hirajo) located in Kubiki-gun, Echigo Province. Also written as Fukushima Castle. The vicinity of Joetsu City Furushiro Elementary School in 2-chome, Minato-cho, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture is considered to be the site of the main enclosure. It is located across the Sea of ​​Japan in the north, the Hokura River in the east, the moat (now the Hokura River) in the south, and the Seki River in the west, facing the city of Fuchu since the Middle Ages. After the transfer of Uesugi Kagekatsu Aizu, Hideharu Hori, who became the owner of Kasugayama Castle, started construction as a replacement for Kasugayama Castle, which is a mountain castle. The exact time is not clear, but it is believed that it will be shortly after the 5th year of Keicho (1600). It was completed in the place of Tadatoshi Hori, who succeeded the family reign after Shuji's death, and in 1607, Tadatoshi abolished Kasugayama Castle and moved to Fukushima Castle. It is said that many townspeople migrated from Kasugayama Castle and Fuchu when constructing the castle town. Tadateru Matsudaira, who inherited the territory of Echigo after the reform of Tadateru Hori in 1610, became the lord of Fukushima Castle. Tadateru built Takada Castle in the inland area of ​​the Sekigawa River in 1614. As a result, Fukushima Castle was abandoned. In the townspeople town of Takada Castle, there are many towns that tell the history of moving from Fukushima Castle.

It's on the grounds of an elementary school, but you can enter inside.

The castle where Kasugayama Castle was just after the ruined castle. The museum did not have a highlight during April.

I didn't think it was on the grounds of an elementary school, I was surprised when I arrived ? I felt a different shape of freshness with a new feeling.

A stone monument and an explanation board are built on the grounds of the elementary school. The Fukushima Castle Museum is located in one corner of the school building, but it was closed.
