The Original constructions of Karatsu Castle began in 1602 and took 7 years to complete. It was built by Terasawa Hirotaka, a former Samurai of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Some of the construction materials are removed from the abandoned castle of Nagoya. Winged by swooping beaches, the fortress became popularly known as Maizuru-jo "dancing Crane Castle" because of a fancied resemblance toa bird.
