*''Japanese'': 北庄城 ''(Kitanoshou-jou)''
Kitanoshô-jô was a castle in [[Echizen province]] given by [[Oda Nobunaga]] to [[Shibata Katsuie]] in [[1575]] to help prevent the escape of the [[Asakura clan]] who had until then controlled the province.
[[Yuki Hideyasu|Yûki Hideyasu]], second son of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], later became lord of Echizen, ruling from Kitanoshô-jô, as part of Ieyasu's strategies to keep the [[Maeda clan]] of [[Kaga province]] in check. He would become the progenitor of the Echizen branch of the [[Matsdaira clan]].
The castle suffered extensive damage in a fire in 1669, in which the majority of it was lost. Only remnants of the ''honmaru'' survive today.
