Maebashi Castle (前橋城, Maebashi-jō) is a castle located in Maebashi, central Gunma Prefecture, Japan. At the end of the Edo period, Maebashi Castle was home to a branch of the Matsudaira clan, daimyō of Maebashi domain, although the castle was ruled by a large number of different clans over its history.[1] The castle was also known as "Mayabashi-jō" (厩橋城), after the former name of Maebashi.
