Tsuruga Castle (Aizuwakamatsu Castle)
It is said to have begun about 630 years ago when Lord Naomori Ashina built it, and it became famous as a renowned castle that withstood fierce battles for about a month during the Boshin War. Rebuilt in 1965, in 2000, the buildings "Kanmeshi Yagura and Nansō Nagaya" were restored using Edo period construction methods and techniques, and in 2011, the replacement of the roof with "red tiles" was completed, recreating its appearance from the late Edo period, making it the only existing castle tower in Japan with a red-tiled roof.
