In 1623 (Genna 9), under the will of Nagamasa Kuroda, lord of the Fukuoka domain, 50,000 koku were allocated to his third son Nagaoki, establishing the Akizuki domain. The following year, Nagaoki constructed and settled in Akizuki Castle. It was a small castle designed like a camp, divided into the Omote-goden (government office), where Akizuki Junior High School was located, and the Okugoden (living quarters of the feudal lord). Today, the ‘Black Gate’ has been relocated to the approach to Suiyo Shrine, dedicated to Choyo, but it originally stood at the back of KAWARAZAKA as the main gate. The ‘Choyamon’, which served as a service gate, is the only historic site that remains in its original position. Sugi-no-Baba Street, leading to the castle ruins, is a popular spring destination with a stunning tunnel of cherry blossoms.
