Mizusawa Castle was a flat castle, also known as Wagyu Castle, but it was surrounded by samurai residences, and was a key point for the defense of the northern part of the Sendai domain, with key-shaped roads and squares that served as key points of defense in battle. .
Even now, there are still remains of the castle ruins such as the Ubagisugi, samurai residences, Hibagaki streets, and merchant storehouses.
