Mikuniminato Castle, Medieval fortress in Sakai, Japan
Located at the mouth of the Kuzuryu River in Fukui Prefecture, Mikuniminato Castle stands near maritime trade routes of historical significance.
The castle emerged during the Edo Period when Mikuni Minato developed into a distribution center for water transportation along the Kuzuryu River system.
The castle area retains structures from ancient maritime commerce, including merchant residences and traditional Japanese architectural elements from the Edo period.
Visitors can reach the castle site via the Mikuni Awara Line on the Echizen Railway, connecting from Fukui Station to Mikuni Minato Station.
The fortress position at the intersection of river and sea routes made it central to the Kitamaebune trading network between Osaka and Hokkaido.
