Fukuyama Castle stands right beside Fukuyama Station and was completed in 1622 by Mizuno Katsushige, a relative of the Tokugawa shoguns. Its reconstructed keep houses a museum of local history, while the grounds preserve original Edo-period structures such as the Sujigane-gomon gate and the Fushimi turret, making it a fitting final stop before returning to the station.
Located next to Fukuyama Castle, this museum introduces the history and culture of the Bingo region through archaeological artifacts, samurai culture, and reconstructed townscapes from the Edo period

About Fukuyama
Fukuyama is a castle city on the Seto Inland Sea in eastern Hiroshima Prefecture, close to the old harbour town of Tomonoura.
Fukuyama is the second-largest city in Hiroshima Prefecture, built around a castle completed in the early 1620s beside the present railway station. The main keep was destroyed in the air raids of 1945 and rebuilt in 1966, and it holds a museum. The city is known for roses, planted by residents after the war, which fill the parks in a festival each May, and it is the centre of Japan's koto harp making.
