History
Thought to have been constructed by Hōjō Masayori, son of Hōjō Takayori, in the Kamakura Period, it is said Akagi-minamijō was controlled by Kogawa Denpachirō in the late 16th century. It was presumably abandoned by the Edo Period. Twinned with Akagi-kitajō in the north, the castle's name derives from its use as a fort and residence by the Akagi Clan.
