"Kokura Castle"

In other day, I went to "Kokura Castle" with my friend on December 2010.

Kokura castle is build in Kokurakita, kitakyusyuu sity, Fukuoka prefecture. I'm going to intoroduce to "Kokura Castle".

Kokura city faced with the "Kanmon" Strait was the ground where a fort and a castle were build up for a long time.

In Kokura Castle, Mori begins to build the castle on the current ground in 1569.

After that Kansyu Takahashi and Katsunobu Mori stayed a castle. And Tadaoki Hosokawa who entered the country by the service of the Sekigahara battle, construction of a castle began in earnest in 1602. It was needed time in about 7 years.

Seeing in fact, this castle was not so big. Kumamoto Castle is bigger than this castle. But this castle was got ready and was so beautiful. I felt the long history.

Please you visit this castle by all means. You will be impressed.
