Shiroishi Castle

Shiroishi castle (Other name: masaoka castle) is in the center of Shiroishi city （Masaoka park）and is a mountain castle.

It was the date families senior chairman, fuedal lord Katakura Kojuro's home.

It is a strategic point in the south of the sendai region, and after the sekigahara fight, it continued to be that for 260 years until the meiji restoration occurred, where it then became the residence of the date families senior chairman and fuedal lord Katakura Kojuro. It was once demolished in the 7th year of the meiji era, however, after Katakura Kojuro removed his name from the date family, he worked to restore the historical castle with devotion.
