After the castle town at Ichijodani was destroyed, incoming warlord Shibata Katsuie decided to move the provincial capital to Kitanosho, in modern-day downtown Fukui City. Its location near Mt. Asuwayama meant that the native shakudani stone mined there would become a popular construction material for the new town. Kitanosho Castle itself had its walls and tiles made from this stone. Although the castle was soon destroyed in battle, its building methods and materials were used to construct nearby Fukui Castle.
