“Akizuki, a little Kyoto in Chikuzen, famous for its cherry blossoms and autumn leaves.”
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, and the Akizuki domain was established. The following year, Nagaoki built and settled in Akizuki Castle.
It was a small castle in the form of a camp, and the castle was divided into the Omote-goden (government office), where the Akizuki Junior High School was located, and the Okugoden (living quarters of the feudal lord).
