Matsue Castle (Izumo Province/Shimane Prefecture)
One of 12 castles which has a castle tower. The castle used to face the Lake Shinji and is one of the three biggest lake castles. Yoshiharu Horio who allied with the eastern forces when the Battle of Sekigahara took place was assigned to Izumonokuni after the war. He first based on Gassan-Toda-jo and then built Matsue-jo in a more convenient and civilized place. After the Horio clan, the Kyogoku clan came and then the Matsudaira clan who took the post until the late Tokugawa shogunate.
