basic information

Castle Tower Foundation

Tsukimi Yagura

Takamatsu Castle, also known as Tamamo Castle, was built in 1590 adjacent to the sea, a rarity among Japanese castles. The Ikoma Clan ruled from the castle for 54 years, before the fief was reassigned to the Matsudaira Clan, relatives of the Tokugawa Clan, who stayed there for the rest of the Edo Period.

Of the five storied castle tower only the foundation remains today, with a shrine built on top. Other remains are moats filled by sea water, several gates, a residential building dating from the Meiji Period and two turrets, including the Tsukimi Yagura, a turret for moon viewing.
