Uda Matsuyama Castle (宇陀松山城, Uda Matsuyama-jō) is a castle structure in Uda, Nara Prefecture, Japan. The site was designated a National Historic Site.[1]

In 1600, Fukushima Masanori's younger brother Fukushima Takaharu became the lord of the castle.[1][2] The castle was demolished by Tokugawa shogunate`s one country one castle rule in 1615.[3]

Current

The castle is now only ruins, just some stone walls and moats. The castle was listed as one of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles in 2017.[4]
