Fukuchiyama Castle (福知山城, Fukuchiyama-jō) is a castle located in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
Fukuchiyama Castle was originally built and ruled by the Yokoyama family.
[1] Following the capture of Tanba in 1576, Akechi Mitsuhide reconstructed the castle on the foundations of the older fortification in 1580.
However, the castle buildings, along with many other castle buildings in Japan, were mostly dismantled in 1872 during the Meiji Restoration in the Japanese government's attempts to modernize Japan.
Many original stone walls still stand.
