Kaizu Castle

Japanese: 海津城 - かいづじょう

This castle was originally the residence of the Kiyono clan of Matsushiro, Hanishina County, Shinano Province (Matsushiro, Nagano City), but in 1553, Takeda Shingen ordered Yamamoto Kansuke to reconstruct it. In 1556, Takasaka Masanobu became the castle lord, and it became the Takeda's base for the Battle of Kawanakajima. In 1572, Uesugi Kagekatsu took control, and in 1603, Matsudaira Tadateru took control, and the castle was renamed Taijo Castle, with his vassal Hanai Yoshikatsu as the castle lord. In 1603, Sanada Nobuyuki took over the castle, and it was renamed Matsushiro Castle.
