Uzumine, Mountain castle in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan
The castle ruins sit at an elevation of 677 meters on Mount Uzumine, marking the border between Koriyama and Sukagawa cities in Fukushima Prefecture.
Tamura Morihide constructed Uzumine Castle around 1340, establishing it as a military stronghold during the early Muromachi period in southern Mutsu Province.
The castle received National Historic Site designation in 1951, preserving the remaining earthen ramparts and dry moat for future generations to study.
Visitors can reach the castle site within 5 minutes by car from Oshioe Station on the JR East Suigun Line, making it accessible for history enthusiasts.
Prince Morinaga, grandson of Emperor Go-Daigo, adopted the name Prince Uzumine to mark the Southern Court victory in the 1352 Kanno disturbance.
