Tsuchiura Castle

A nice site with several buildings in a very small area. It's a short walk from the station so please stop by if you are in the area.

History

A castle was likely established on this site as a fortified home by Imaizumi Saburo, a vassal of the Oda. The site was likely renovated into an Edo Period castle by one of the lords (Matsudaira, Nishio, Kutsuki) in the first half of the 17th Century. The lands ruled from Tsuchiura Castle grew to their greatest size under the Tsuchiya clan who ruled all but 5 years of the span 1669-1869. This was the second largest fief in Hitachi after that of Mito. After the Meiji Restoration, the castle was used for government offices and in 1898 the last Tsuchiya officially donated the castle to the city of Tsuchiura.

Field Notes
