Tatsuoka Castle Goryokaku

The ruins of Tatsuoka Castle are a 20-minute drive from the Saku-Minami Interchange, next to Goryokaku Park and the Goryokaku Deai Museum. The ruins were designated a National Historic Site in 1934. It is also known as Kikyo Castle. It is one of only three five-sided castles built in Japan, the others being in Hakodate and Tatsuoka. It was built in the latter days of the Edo period by Matsudaira Norikata, the daimyo of Tanoguchi. It was demolished in 1872 after the feudal system was abolished. Even now, the moat and part of the kitchen remain. Those who want to tour the kitchen area should make reservations ahead of time.
