It is a nationally important cultural property, and is a watchtower-shaped castle tower with a two-story exterior and three-story interior, and the stone walls are built using the old method of ``nozura zumi''.It has many gaps and looks rough, but it has good drainage and is safe from collapse even in heavy rain. It is said. There is a Japanese garden-style park built to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the construction of Maruoka Castle, and the History and Folklore Museum exhibits items related to successive castle owners.
