    掛川城天守閣と合わせて見学しました。平日だったため非常に空いておりじっくり落ちついて見学することができました。

    Shizuoka Haibara-gun Yoshidacho Kataoka 2519-1 Noman Terayama Park
    A castle that serves as an observation deck, located a five-minute walk from the Kataoka Kita-Yoshida Tokubetsu Shien Gakko bus stop, a 25-minute ride on the Shizutetsu Just Line Bus from JR Shimada Station. Takeda Shingen first used this site as a fortress in 1568, but built a castle in 1571 and renamed Koyama Castle. Visitors can see relics dug up among the castle ruins, pictures of samurai, and a tea house. The observation deck affords a view of Mt. Fuji, and the cherry trees on the grounds are illuminated during the spring blossom season.

    Lovely gardens and castle, very helpful English speaking staff around to answer any questions and give an insight to the history of the gardens.

    Shizuoka Kikugawa-shi Toyoko
    Located about a ten-minute drive from Kikugawa Interchange or about 15 minutes from Kikugawa Station, the castle ruins can be found by going northeast from the industrial area with a dense concentration of factories, passing by Ushiike Pond and Kamiike Pond. It is counted as one of the five districts of the Yokoji Castle Ruins belonging to the group of Kikugawa Castle Ruins, which are designated a National Cultural Property as a historic site. Built in the home area of the Yokoji clan, a powerful lord of the Shogunate in the Kamakura Period (1185-1334), it consists of an east castle, a middle castle, and a west castle. Even now, the area gives off an aura of times past. Since it is a mountain castle, it affords a superior view of the surroundings, including Senjojiki, a broad rock plateau, and the graves of the Yokoji clan.

    Shizuoka Makinohara Katsuta 2160-1
    The castle was built on a mountain ridge on the Makinohara Plateau, and the original castle walls, including the remains of the castle tower and inner moat, remain in good condition. The castle was defeated by Imagawa Yoshitada in 1476 (Bunmei 8), but it is believed that the Takeda clan later renovated and expanded the northern part of the castle during the Warring States period.

Shizuoka Areas

around-area-map

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
