福知山城
Fukuchiyama Castle is classified as a hilltop castle (its layout: Renkakushiki), and is located in Kyōto. During the pre-modern age, it found itself within the borders of Tanba Province. It is associated with the Akechi clan. Dates in use: 1579 - 1872.
Akechi Mitsuhide replaced the Yokoyama clan here in 1576 & completed the rebuilding of this castle three years later. Mistuhide is most well known for betraying his lord, Oda Nobunaga. Nobunaga's death was avenged just 13 days later when Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated the Akechi in the Battle of Yamazaki.
