Viewing the Restored Three-Story Tower Standing on Stone Walls
About this spot
A symbol of Shirakawa's castle town, where the Shirakawa clan's castle administration was located during the Edo period. The three-story tower restored using traditional wooden construction techniques stands impressively on high stone walls, and its dignified appearance is one of the highlights of exploring the castle town. The grounds, developed as Shiroyama Park, are filled with greenery, and you can feel the weight of history just by walking while looking up at the stone walls up close. Visit and appreciate this place slowly during the day before the fireworks display tonight.

Tips
荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は主催者の公式発表で確認を。終了直後は白河駅周辺が大変混雑するため、フィナーレ後は少し余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめ。足元が暗い箇所もあるのでスマホのライトで安全に。
Tips
About a 5-minute walk from JR Shirakawa Station. The area around the stone walls has uneven footing, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. In summer, the sun is strong, so take frequent water breaks. Travel to the next stop, Nanako Park, by car or bus.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. From late morning to early afternoon, there are fewer tourists and you can view at a leisurely pace.
