Fukuyama Castle, located in Fukuyama City in Hiroshima Prefecture, is a historic Japanese castle with a rich heritage. Originally constructed in 1622 by Mizuno Katsunari, a daimyō (feudal lord) of the early Edo period, the castle played a significant role in the region's defense and administration. Despite suffering damage during World War II, the castle has been meticulously reconstructed and now stands as a prominent symbol of the city. Visitors can explore the castle grounds, which include beautifully landscaped gardens, and the main keep, which houses a museum displaying artifacts and exhibits related to the castle's history.
