Experience the history of the castle town at a castle ruin park with remaining moats and stone walls
About this spot
A park developed from the ruins of Tanagura Castle, built in the early Edo period, and affectionately known as "Kamegajiro Park" locally. While the castle tower no longer stands, the water-filled moat and stone walls remain as reminders of that era, showcasing the serene appearance characteristic of flat-land castles. Also known as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, the tree-filled park provides pleasant shade for summer walks. Within this quiet park, you can trace the echoes of the era when Tanagura flourished as a castle town.
