Traveler highlights
Kurume Castle stands near the meeting of the Chikugo and Homan Rivers. Founded in the late Muromachi period, it served as the seat of the Kurume domain during the Edo period. The castle buildings were dismantled in the early Meiji period. Today, the green grounds of the main bailey contain Sasayama Shrine and the Arima Memorial Museum, as well as five stone monuments that preserve memories of the site and its ruling family. Walk among the shrine, museum, and former castle area to imagine its role as a domain center. The remains are part of Kurume’s modern cityscape.
