About This Video
Located in the city of Nakatsu, this castle, also known in Japanese as Nakatsu-Jo, was founded in 1587 under the rule of the Daimyo Kuroda Yoshitaka. Completely destroyed by the Satsuma Rebellion in 1877, which opposed disaffected samurai against the new imperial government, Nakatsu castle was rebuilt in 1964 by the descendants of the Okudaira samurai clan and was modeled on Hagi Castle (Yamaguchi prefecture).
Finally, Nakatsu Castle is known as one of the three mizujiro, or “castles on the sea” in Japan, with Takamatsu Castle in Kagawa Prefecture and Imabari Castle in Ehime Prefecture.
