Takamatsu Castle (高松城 Takamatsu-jō?) is located in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, on the island of Shikoku, Japan. This castle is also called Tamamo Castle (玉藻城 Tamamo-jō?).
Takamatsu Castle was built in 1590 by Ikoma Chikamasa, the first feudal lord of Takamatsu Domain. The Ikoma clan ruled from the castle for 54 years before their fief was given to the Matsudaira clan. This castle is well known as one of the three Mizujiro, or "Water Castles" in Japan, along with Imabari Castle in Ehime Prefecture and Nakatsu Castle in Oita Prefecture.
