Overview

Fukuchiyama Castle Ruins trace their origins to a castle built in the late Muromachi period by Hosokawa Yorishige, the deputy governor of Tanba Province. Later, Amano Shigeaki, a vassal of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, renovated it to its current scale. The mountain castle, built into a hillside, is characterized by its three-tiered stone walls. The stone walls of the main enclosure are particularly impressive, exceeding 20 meters in height. From the castle ruins, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Fukuchiyama City. Despite lacking a main keep, Fukuchiyama Castle Ruins offer many highlights, allowing visitors to experience the scale of the castle's structure through its impressive stone walls and enclosures. This spot is recommended for history buffs and nature lovers alike. The site also features a historical museum and a teahouse, providing opportunities for learning and relaxation.
