One of Japan's 100 Greatest Castles

Kochi Castle is a Japanese castle located in Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture. It is also called Hawk Castle because the color of the tiles and walls resembles the color of a hawk's feathers. During the Edo period, the Tosa clan's administrative office was located in Ninomaru Palace. It is one of the twelve castles with surviving castle towers built during the Edo period, and the Honmaru Palace and Otemae Gate still remain. The castle ruins have been designated as a national historic site and selected as one of Japan's 100 most famous castles. Buildings such as the three-story, six-story castle tower and Otemae Gate are designated as important cultural properties of the country. It is one of the twelve remaining wooden castle towers in Japan, and has survived numerous crises such as fires, earthquakes, nationwide castle abandonment due to the Meiji Restoration, and the Pacific War, and still remains in its original form today. In the park, there are statues of Chiyo, the wife of Kazutoyo, who was famous for her support as a wife, and Itagaki Taisuke. #Free hotel stay #Free hotel stay
