Tsuruga Castle (Aizuwakamatsu Castle)

Area: Aizuwakamatsu City

Recommended period: Year-round

About 630 years ago, it is said that it was founded by Lord Naomori Ashina, and during the Boshin War, it became famous as a castle that withstood fierce battles lasting about a month. It was rebuilt in 1965, and in 2000, the building leading to the main keep, the "Hōmai Yagura and Nansō Nagaya," was restored using Edo period construction methods and techniques. In 2011, the replacement with "red tiles" was completed, recreating its appearance from the late Edo period, making it the only existing main keep in Japan with red tiles.
