A Must-Visit Kanazawa Castle! ๐ธ You'll Absolutely Fall in Love with This Place! ๐๐ธ Hey everyone ๐! Today, I'm taking you to the gem of Ishikawa Prefecture, JapanโKanazawa Castle! ๐๐ขLocated in Kanazawa City, this flatland castle has been the residence of the Maeda clan of Kaga Domain from the Sengoku period all the way through the Edo period, for a full 300 years! Now transformed into Kanazawa Castle Park, it's one of the most famous tourist spots in Kanazawa, attracting countless visitors from around the world every year to take their own photos! ๐ The history of Kanazawa Castle is incredibly rich! In 1583, Maeda Toshiie officially moved in and began construction. ๐๐ธ At its peak, Kanazawa Castle featured Honmaru (main bailey), Ninomaru (second bailey), and Sannomaru (third bailey), surrounded by outer fortifications and structured with multiple corner towers. However, due to several natural disasters, much of the castle was destroyed by fire. Today, Ninomaru serves as the center, though it too was burned down in 1881. ๐๐ข What remains includes the Ishikawa Gate, rebuilt in 1788, and the Hishiyagura, Gojukken Nagaya, and Hashizumemon Tsuzukiyagura, all restored in 2001, perfectly recreating the landscape of that time.โจ Whether you're a history buff or a photography enthusiast, you'll definitely be captivated here โค๏ธ. ๐๐ธ Come to Kanazawa Castle and immerse yourself in this unique historical atmosphere! ๐ฟ #JapanTravel #KanazawaCastlePark
