Kozukue Castle (小机城, Kozukue-jō) is the name for the earthly remains of a castle structure in Kozukue, Kōho-ku ward of Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.[1]
The main grounds are located on the top of a hill surrounded with trees. It is not clear when the Castle was built but probably founded by Uesugi clan, around 1438. During the siege of Odawara in 1590 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the castle was given up without resistance.
The castle is now only ruins, with some earthen walls and moats. In 2017, the castle was listed as one of the Continued Top 100 Japanese Castles.[2]
Kozukue castle remains are located on the outskirts of Yokohama, close to Kozukue StationonJR Yokohama line. About 15 minutes by walk from Kozukue Station.[1]
