2019.10.02 |
We've recently been to Aizu Wakamatsu in Fukushima and we found this castle located in the heart of the Wakamatsu area.
Let us introduce you to this beautiful castle that we've found.
Tsurugajo 【鶴ヶ城:つるがじょう】 Castle
This castle is currently known in two different names. One which is Wakamatsu Castle.
Originally built in 1384 as a house for the Ashina clan was later turned into a castle called the Kurokawa castle by the mid-15th century.
The current building that exists was built a few years after the world war two, as the previous castle was demolished by the government that was newly formed back in those days in 1874.

You can actually entre the castle as the interior of it has been restored in 1965 to a museum.
The admission fee is 520 yen, which includes a ticket to entre the Chashitsu, literally translated to the "tea room", an architectural structure built to hold Japanese tea ceremonies.

Looking at other peoples' posts, it looks like it would be a great time to visit the castle during the cherry blossom seasons, autumn foliage season or even in the snowy season.
