Climbing to the top of the castle keep (Tenshukaku) was like stepping through time. As I looked out over the city, I couldn’t help but imagine what this view must have been like centuries ago—when samurai in armor patrolled the grounds, and messengers ran across the courtyards carrying orders from their lords.

The thick stone walls, wooden beams, and steep staircases all echoed a time when castles were not just beautiful structures, but strongholds of strategy and survival. Standing there, I felt a moment of connection to the past—both the romance and the hardship of the feudal era.

If you have even the slightest interest in Japanese history, this is more than just a view—it’s a living window into the world of the sword. Come to...

☆「二条城」訪問目的の一つ『天守台』👀 国内城郭で「天皇が昇ったとされる唯一無二の天守」があった天守台❗️ 3代将軍/徳川家光が後水尾天皇の寛永行幸に合わせ1626年(寛永3年)に廃城と成った伏見城から天守移築、層塔型五重五階の天守が聳えてた事を想像すると素晴らしい🏯 残念なのは1750年(寛延3年)に落雷で焼失し、二度と再建されず、本丸西南隅に天守台だけが面影を残してます😌 中々立派な天守台、高さ約21m・天守平面は約20m×約20mの広さ、ベンチありユックリ眺望を楽しめます😄 天守台は切込接布積、非常に状態良く残ってますが天守台登城階段の両脇に焼けた様な黒く角が丸い石垣が残ってます、これも歴史の遺構でしょうか🤔 更に天守台の南面と西面には、凄く立派な雁木(段々状の石段、多くの兵が一斉に登ることが出来る)、ここまで規模の大きい雁木が残っているのは珍しい😲 因みに元々あった徳川家康築城時の三重の天守(元は大和郡山城の天守との伝承)は久松松平家「淀城」へ、中々の再利用😁
