Tokushima Castle, located in Tokushima City on Shikoku Island, Japan, was originally constructed in 1586 by the feudal lord Hachisuka Iemasa. The castle played a significant role during the Edo period under the rule of the Hachisuka clan, which governed the Tokushima Domain. Although much of the original structure was destroyed in the late 19th century, the castle grounds have been converted into a beautiful park featuring remnants of the stone walls, moats, and the reconstructed Omote Goten (main palace). The Tokushima Castle Museum, located within the park, offers insights into the castle's history and the Hachisuka family.
