Description:: Maruoka Castle was built in 1576 by Shibata Katsutoyo. It is famous for its castle tower, which is the oldest existing one in Japan and appointed to be one of the important cultural property.
The letter known to be the shortest in Japan was written by Honda Shigetsugu (1529-1596), the father of the lord of Maruoka. The letter reads as follows: "Dear my love, Beware of Fire. Don't make Sen (the name of eldest son) cry. Feed the horses well."
