Yamanashi Tourism: Maizuru Castle Park

#FuriTabi Kofu Castle, one of Japan's 100 Great Castles, was built at the end of the 16th century after the fall of the Takeda clan. It was once a vast castle covering an area of ​​about 20 hectares, but now part of the castle ruins has been opened to the public as Maizuru Castle Park, and is a place of relaxation for local residents. From the castle tower, you can see a 360-degree view of the Kofu Basin, as well as Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps. Mount Fuji as seen from the park has been certified as one of the "100 Views of Mount Fuji in the Kanto Region." In addition to the view, the stone walls, Inari turret, Yamate Gomon, and other historical assets are also worth seeing.
