Marugame Castle (丸亀城, Marugame-jō) is an Edo Period Japanese castle in the city of Marugame, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is located in the center of Marugame city, in former Sanuki Province on the island of Shikoku. During the Edo Period, it was the center of Marugame Domain, ruled by the tozama Kyōgoku clan under the Tokugawa Shogunate. The castle site has been protected as a National Historic Site since 1953.[1] Marugame Castle is one of only a dozen Japanese castles to have an original wooden 'tenshu' built before 1860.[2]
