Fukuyama castle was the seat of the lord of [[Fukuyama han]], in what is today Fukuyama City, [[Hiroshima prefecture]]. It was built by [[Mizuno Katsunari]] in the 1620s-1630s.
One of the castle's towers, known as the Fushimi yagura, and one of its gates, the Sujigane-gomon, have been designated [[Important Cultural Properties]]. Both were originally constructed for [[Fushimi castle]], and were relocated to Fukuyama in the 1620s-1630s. The Fushimi yagura is a three-story tile-roofed tower in ''[[irimoya]]'' style, eight ''[[Japanese Measurements|ken]]'' by three ''ken'' in size. The Sujigane Gate is ten ''ken'' by three ''ken'' in size, also in ''irimoya'' style and with a tile roof.<ref>Plaques on-site at Fukuyama castle.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/36213649294/sizes/l]</ref>
