Abstract
This study aims at showing how local smaller castle towns tried to transform their urban space into modernized one early in the Meiji era. In the castle town, the castle holds large part of town area, and the land use after Meiji restoration had profound effects on its urban structure. In this case, the reclamation activity of local former samurai class people (shizoku) determined the street plan and the lot size of some part of the castle, which grew as the central business district in modern time. They also played an important role in the construction of the stone bridge as an part of the prefectural road development.
