- Fukuyama Castle is a huge Hirayama castle built in 1622 by Katsunari Mizuno, the first lord of the Fukuyama domain.
- The castle tower is in the form of a five-story, six-story tower.
- Decorated with plover gables and Kara gables, the top floor is decorated with balustrades and flower-headed windows, and is said to be the last masterpiece of Edo period architecture that expresses elegance rather than actual combat.
- The walls and windows on the north side of the castle tower are made entirely of iron plates, the only one in Japan.
- Another feature of Fukuyama Castle is the rain cover, which is said to have been added around the middle of the Edo period.
- The castle tower was burnt down in the Fukuyama Air Raid in 1945, and the current castle tower was rebuilt after the war.

- Renovated shapes from the [Reiwa Great Construction Project] are also reproduced, such as the gun space and the shape of the windows on the top floor.
