*''Japanese'': 城下町 ''(joukamachi)''
''Jôkamachi'' (lit. "towns below castles") were cities which grew up around [[castles]], especially those which served as a daimyô's "seat," the political center of a ''[[han]]'' (domain) in the [[Edo period]].
Castle towns in the 17th century numbered over two hundred.<ref>Moriya, Katsuhisa. Ronald Toby (trans.) "Urban Networks and Information Networks." in Chie Nakane and Shinzaburô Ôishi (eds.)
