Matsukura Castle (松倉城, Matsukura-jō) was a castle in Takayama, Gifu Prefecture, Japan (formerly Hida Province). It was built by, and ruled from, by Yasutane Shiina during the 16th century.
Outline
The castle was built on Mount Matsukura (松倉山 Matsukura-yama), which is in the southwestern area of the present-day Takayama. Though the mountain is 857 m (2,812 ft), its prominence is only 360 m (1,181 ft). While only the stone foundation surrounding the castle remains today, and the site was designated an Important Cultural Asset by the prefecture in 1956.
