nihongo|Kagoshima Castle|鹿児島城|kagoshimajō is a Japanese castle in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. This other name of this castle is Tsurumarujo.

History

This castle was constructed by Shimazu Iehisa in 1601. In 1600 Shimazu Yoshihiro, the father of Iehisa, was defeated at the Battle of Sekigahara as a daimyo of the western alliance, by the eastern alliance lead by Tokugawa Ieyasu. This castle was built after the defeat and in the severe political tension with Ieyasu.This castle is rather famous for the small and poor scale as a main castle of one of the second richest daimyos in Japan. It is said that Shimazu was afraid of giving an excuse to Tokugawa to attack Shimazu territory, by making too large a castle.
