Yodo Castle, Japanese castle in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan.
The castle stood at the confluence of the Kizu, Katsura, and Uji rivers, forming a natural defensive position on the north bank of Yodo River.
The first written record of the castle dates back to 1478, when it served as the administrative center for the Yamashiro province guardians.
The castle holds significance as the birthplace of Yodo-dono, a prominent concubine of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and mother of his heir Hideyori.
A stone monument marking the castle location stands at Myokyo-ji temple, accessible within a 10-minute walk from Yodo Station on the Keihan Line.
The castle structure incorporated sections from other fortifications, including the keep from Yamato-Koriyama Castle, which was later destroyed by lightning in 1756.
