The castle is located in Kimitsu, southern Chiba Prefecture, Japan. At the end of the Edo period, the castle was home to a branch of the Kuroda clan, fuedal lord of Kururi Domain.
The original Kururi Castle was a mountain-top fortification built during the Muromachi period.
In 1872, by orders of the Meiji government, the surviving structures of Kururi Castle were destroyed. The area, containing remnants of moats, earthen works and a well, became a park in 1955.
The current keep tower was reconstructed in 1979 to boost local tourism.
