Maizuru Castle Park, Japanese castle in Kofu, Japan
The castle complex spans across 20 hectares of land at the meeting point of Kamanashi River and Fuefuki River in Yamanashi Prefecture.
Constructed in 1583 under Tokugawa shogunate command, the fortress served as a strategic base against forces in the Kanto region until its demolition in 1873.
The site contains 160 cherry trees that transform the grounds into a celebration space during spring flowering season.
Visitors can access the preserved stone walls, restored gates, and turrets that provide views of the Kofu basin and Mount Fuji.
The original four-story main tower featured black paint and gold-colored roof tiles, reaching heights of 15 meters above multiple terrace layers.
