Setagaya Castle (世田谷城, Setagaya-jō) is the remains of a castle structure in Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan. Its ruins have been protected as a Prefectural Historic Sites.[1][2]
It is believed that the castle was constructed by the Kira clan in the Ōei Period.[3] Setagaya castle was a mere fortified residence when the castle was built but was expanded and fortified by Kira Naritaka in the Sengoku period.[2]
Later, Setagaya castle became one of the castles under the direct control of the Later Hōjō clan.[2] The castle was demolished soon after the Siege of Odawara in 1590.[1] Setagaya castle park and Gōtoku-ji Temple are on site.[4][5]
